Study Abroad

COL majors spend the spring of their junior year abroad, and this requires intermediate level work in the appropriate foreign language. When entering the major, it is important that you make a plan for foreign language study that enables you to take the following courses no later than during the fall semester of your junior year: French 215, German 211, Hebrew 202, Italian 111, Spanish 221, Russian 202, Greek 202, Latin 202, Arabic 202. The College strongly advises that students take the Wesleyan language placement test and enroll in appropriate language classes during their first-year.

Wesleyan offers programs abroad for the COL major:

Vassar - Wesleyan Program in Paris (VWPP)

E.C.CO. Bologna Program

Vassar Wesleyan Madrid Program (UWM)

In addition, you may choose from a selection of pre-approved study abroad programs.
 

Study abroad deadlines:

The Office of Study Abroad (O.S.A.) has strict deadlines for the submission of study abroad applications. The deadline for most Wesleyan and Wesleyan approved programs is October 1 in the fall, with deadlines for non-Wesleyan programs potentially earlier. Late applications are not accepted so make sure to submit your application on time.

Grades for courses abroad:

Since such courses, although required by the major, are not counted for major course credit, you may elect either a graded or ungraded mode for the assessment of your study abroad courses. However, (a) you must take all of the foreign study in the same grading mode, and (b) it is not possible to change the grading mode later than 10 days after the beginning of classes in the foreign study program.
