Can I get credit for participating in a health care opportunity overseas with a service learning abroad program, NGO, or church group?
Undergraduate students: You may be able to get academic credit for these activities by registering for a 499 Independent Study. Careful planning is essential especially if you want to be gone for a short time during the regular semester. Please contact the international programs coordinator at least one whole semester prior to your planned participation. Students in the RN-BSN program may be able to negotiate partial or full credit for N465 or N495 for international experiences. Talk to the faculty before you sign up for the experience to determine whether credit can be given and how much. Graduate Students: You may be able negotiate with your faculty for clinical hours or other credit depending on the track you are enrolled in. Contact the course or lead faculty.
