Study Abroad

A College of Letters student spends the second semester of her or his Sophomore year abroad, and this requires intermediate level work in the appropriate foreign language. It is expected that students entering the college as Sophomores will be ready at the beginning of their Sophomore year for the intermediate level of study (or its equivalent) in the language of their choice. That normally means French 215, German 211 or 214, Hebrew 202, Italian 111, Spanish 112, or Russian 112. (In Greek or Latin, the corresponding level would be 202.) Students should therefore take the Wesleyan language placement test and enroll in appropriate language classes during their first year.

Wesleyan offers programs abroad for the COL major:

Wesleyan Program in France, Paris

Wesleyan Program in Germany, Regensburg

Wesleyan-Vassar-Wellesley in Italy, Bologna

Wesleyan-Colgate-Vassar Program in Spain, Madrid

Wesleyan Program in Israel, Jerusalem


The deadline for going to Paris, Germany, Italy, and Spain in Spring 2003 is in October. Please contact Gail Winter at ext. 3006 for the exact date.
For information about Hebrew and the Jerusalem Program, please contact Jeremy Zwelling in the Religion Department.
For other languages and more information on going abroad, please contact Gail Winter of the Office of International Studies, 102 Fisk Hall (ext. 3006).


COL will continue to assume that Sophomores will take courses in the programs abroad Pass/Fail. Anyone wishing to take the courses for grades, on an all or nothing basis, may do so by informing the COL Director or Secretary in writing to that effect by the last day of classes of the Fall semester. The Director will notify in turn whoever else needs to know.

Should a student abroad wish to change the grading mode begun, he or she must contact the COL Director before the 10th day after the beginning of classes--whether by transatlantic phone, FAX, or whatever. After 10 days, by Wesleyan policy, the grading mode cannot be changed.
