Students can get credit by registering in an appropriate course in their home program.
The course is open to students in any academic program, and advice on a suitable course to use for credit can be obtained from the advisors listed below. Students are responsible for arranging that a professor in their home program approves their course choice and acts as their Advisor for the writing of a major paper. The topic of the paper is decided by the student, in consultation with the Advisor, and subject to the availability of suitable resources and a Co-advisor in Iceland. Background material and data for the paper are obtained during the time in Iceland. The paper is written after returning home, during the first half of the fall semester, sent to Iceland for critique by the Icelandic Co-advisor, then returned to you and your home Advisor for final polishing and submission for grading.
