Students often begin thinking about study abroad their first semester. Other students are juniors and seniors before they decide. There is no right or wrong way to go about this, but the further ahead you plan the less likely you are to have to delay your graduation date. All courses through an Elon College program give full graded credit. Non-Elon programs offer only transfer credit.
Internships are available in our semester in London program.
A separate application is required after acceptance. Talk to your academic advisor to determine what courses you need to graduate. If you decide in advance where you want to go, you can plan your schedule at Elon to allow you to take certain courses while you're overseas. The ICC is the next place to come. This is particularly true if you are considering a semester or year abroad program.
