Academic Credit
Which Programs Are Eligible For Credit
You may earn academic credit for nearly
every type of AmeriSpan program. The
process is relatively easy for some
programs like Academic Study Abroad
programs and in other cases it might
take a little work.
The
best way to receive academic credit is
to talk to faculty at your
college/university. Your
institution may require additional
information about the program prior to
approval, as well as require you to
submit a term paper or complete other
requirements. In general, we can
provide a course syllabus, transcript,
itinerary, and/or list some other
colleges/universities that have granted
credit for study at the same foreign
institution. If you are
unsuccessful in getting the program
approved by your own faculty, we have
other options which will likely be
acceptable to your registrar's office
because you'll be receiving a transcript
from a fully accredited US university.
