Academic Advising for Study Abroad

Assessing the academic merits of courses taught within study abroad programs is a task borne by the appropriate faculty at Towson University, not the Study Abroad Office. In addition, students rely on their academic advisors to make sure they stay on track for graduation and complete courses overseas appropriate to their academic career. To assist faculty and academic advisors in these tasks, the Study Abroad Office has developed this set of guidelines.

Study Abroad Course Equivalency Database

This database is designed as a guide for department chairs and academic advisors. All students are required to complete a Study Abroad Course Form with the relevant TU academic departments for official approval of all courses to be taken abroad.
