Ms. Craggs, Director of International Programs Ms. Mofford, Program Coordinator, International Programs Occidental College recognizes the importance of specialized domestic and international off-campus study in the liberal arts and sciences curriculum and therefore encourages its students to participate in a number of opportunities which do not interrupt affiliation with the College.
Participants receive full credit for approved off-campus courses upon successful completion.
Grades are calculated in the student's Occidental grade point average. Individual courses may count toward major and core requirements with approval of these departments. Through a process of competitive selection, qualified Occidental students who are progressing normally towards a degree are approved for a limited number of program openings. Occidental Abroad programs offer up to a total of sixteen units for successful completion of each academic semester. Programs are open to qualified students in all disciplines.
