Study Abroad and Transfer Credit

Study Abroad

In the past, many of our students have studied at the colleges and universities listed below and received Communication credit for their work. The list of possible locations (see below) is not an exhaustive one; these are merely suggestions of possible study abroad sites for Communication majors. Any student planning to take a Communication course abroad, whether for the major or as an elective, must contact the Associate Director of Undergraduate Studies at the Annenberg School for provisional approval by the Undergraduate Chair.

Evaluation of a current complete syllabus of the course is required for final approval, and may be submitted upon the student’s return. For more information about study abroad programs, contact the Undergraduate Office (Room 204 in the Annenberg School); the Office of International Programs (3701 Chestnut Street, Suite 1W); or access the College of Arts & Sciences’ web site, http://college.upenn.edu/curriculum/abroad/index.html.

Communication Credit for Courses Not Completed at the Annenberg School

Credit in communication for courses taken elsewhere in the U.S. or abroad requires approval by the School. Credit is granted only for courses judged comparable in scope and general focus to those typically offered by the Annenberg School. Some courses offered as communication elsewhere (e.g., advertising or literature) may be more appropriately considered for credit by another school or department at the University of Pennsylvania. Students may only count three (3) Comm credits from another college or university toward their major.

How to Apply for Credit

Study Abroad.

Students seeking communication credit for courses completed while abroad must submit a course description to the Undergraduate Office prior to studying abroad. Submission of course descriptions can secure only provisional approval for credit, intended to guide students in their course selections abroad. This provisional approval is not a guarantee of final approval. Final approval requires the submission and approval of a current syllabus to the Undergraduate Office.

Transfer.
Students transferring to the University of Pennsylvania who wish to receive communication credit for courses taken at their prior university must submit a syllabus to the Undergraduate Office.
