Work study, tuition waivers and Washington State Need Grants are not. Some of the programs sponsored by the Office of International Studies and Programs do have scholarships. Eligibility requirements differ from program to program. In general, the minimum grade point average is 2.5 on a 4.0 scale, but some exchanges require a 2.75 or 3.0. In addition to good academic standing, you must demonstrate maturity and personal commitment as well as flexibility.
Some programs have language requirements.
If the classes you take abroad or on exchange do not duplicate a course already taken at Central, then all of your credits will count. In some instances, total credits granted may be more. The reason why you would receive more credits is that a semester program generally lasts four months, while a quarter is only 10 weeks. Academic year programs usually yield between 45 and 60 quarter credits, which is equivalent to an average academic year at Central. If you wish to use the credits towards a major or minor requirement, you must obtain permission from your major or minor advisor or the department head, preferably before your departure on a program.
