How many credit hours do I need to be enrolled in?<\/h2><\/a>
\n

Students must take at least the host university\u2019s equivalent of 12 NC State credit hours. You can read more about how credits transfer to NC State by visiting the Credit Abroad<\/a> page on the Study Abroad Office\u2019s website.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What classes will I take?<\/h2><\/a>
\n

Students will fill out a course pre-approval form before leaving for their study abroad experience. This course pre-approval form will list several classes that students are able to take abroad and will also indicate how these courses will transfer back to NC State. Every program offers a different selection of courses for students to take, ranging from major requirements to major electives and GEPs. Students should review their degree audit to determine the courses they plan to take abroad.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/span>

Can I take classes abroad as pass\/fail or must they be taken for a grade?<\/h2><\/a>
\n

All classes abroad must be taken for a grade, and students must earn a C- or higher for the course to transfer back to NC State. However, no courses taken abroad will affect your GPA. Note: Courses taken in Prague or as part of NC State faculty-led program are NC State Courses and will affect your GPA.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
