The type of credit depends on the courses taken abroad. On some programs students will have to combine classes in order to have them count as a Kalamazoo unit of credit. Consult the individual program information sheets and the College Catalogue for details. Foreign language requirements differ from program to program. Short-term programs require a minimum of French, German or Spanish 310 and a maximum of 420.
Some programs require specific course work in other subjects as well.
The program fees for study abroad for the 2000-2001 academic year will be published in the spring when the College's new fees are announced. The program information sheets available in the Center contain program fee estimates. Fees for non-Kalamazoo programs may be higher. In no instance will participants in non-Kalamazoo programs pay less than the fee assessed participants in Kalamazoo College programs. The fee includes tuition and fees, food and housing while classes are in session, group round-trip international airfare from the designated point of departure, typically a city on the coast, and some excursions.
