Can I Earn Credit for a World Endeavors Program?

Yes! You can earn credit for studying abroad and you may also be able to earn credit for interning or volunteering as well. Earning academic credit is just one of the benefits of an enriching experience abroad, such as strengthening language skills, forming new friendships, experiencing a different culture, and gaining a better understanding of the world. The World Endeavors staff is experienced in helping students to secure academic credit for a wide variety of programs abroad.

 

How to Earn Academic Credit

Earning academic credit for a program abroad is generally a straightforward process, and almost all World Endeavors participants who want to earn credit are able to do so. No programs are off-limits – anything from a long term, full year abroad to a short term, three week program can earn you credit. World Endeavors is able to do this by working directly with your educational institution to ensure that your World Endeavors program will meet your academic credit requirements. Contact a World Endeavors program advisor to get started.

 

University Approval of Transfer Credits

Most educational institutions are happy to approve academic credit for a program from an independent provider like World Endeavors. It allows the educational institution to augment the menu of choices they offer to their students. World Endeavors participants have found the process of transferring credit to be simple and straightforward due to the support World Endeavors advisors provide. Our advisors are available to answer any question you might have, and we can also speak directly with your academic advisor or study abroad office. We pride ourselves on working closely with you and your school throughout the entire process. The best way to get started is to simply call or email a World Endeavors advisor.
