Planning
Planning your Program: 

The best time for a Management major to go abroad will be a combination of their concentration, credits they have transferred in, whether they have a dual major or a minor, whether they plan on taking any summer classes, and obviously their personal situation.  Listed below are some suggested time frames for each concentration. Students looking to go abroad during a different period are encouraged to work closely with their department advisor and the Education Abroad Office.

For all concentrations short-term study abroad opportunities are normally fairly easy to fit into a student’s degree plan.  Students are able to start participating on short-term programs (winter break, spring break, and summer) as early as their first year.  Students participating on short-term faculty-led programs often fulfill General Education, Major Free Electives, Major Concentration courses, Language requirements, or 2nd Major/Minor requirements.  Students participating on partner summer programs may be able to fulfill Management requirements in addition to the above options. Some students will also engage in research or complete an international internship.

First Year

Students in their first year are not able to apply for a semester program but may be eligible for short-term faculty-led or partner summer programs. Students will often take General Education requirements or COB core classes on these programs.

Second Year

It is possible to participate in a semester program during your second year.  However students should be careful to plan their Business core classes (and HOS 2000) carefully as it may not be possible to find equivalents on all semester program.  The summer after your second year is an ideal time to participate on a faculty-led or partner summer program.  

Third Year

Third Year is perhaps the best time to participate on a semester program.  Many students will choose to study abroad during the spring semester however it may also be possible to go abroad during the fall semester.  Students should work carefully with their COB advisor to plan for a semester abroad that gives you the most flexibility with courses. The third year is also an ideal time to participate on a COB faculty-led program or complete an international internship.

Fourth Year

Fourth Year can be another great time to go abroad, but it does require careful planning to make sure all of your course requirements are in order, especially your Capstone requirement.  It is recommended that you go abroad the first semester of your fourth year. Studying abroad during your final year can help you gain additional language skills, take classes not offered at Appalachian, or even do an internship. 

Course Considerations: 

Management majors are not able to complete ____ requirements abroad and Hospitality majors are not able to complete____________.  Other courses that students may want to plan to take before or after their abroad experience are______. Outside of these requirements students may be able to take other HOS or MGT courses abroad, but often electives are the easiest requirements to fulfill.

Students looking to participate in a semester or short-term program can also look to satisfy General Education requirements.  It is suggested that students save 1 or 2 LSE requirements for their study abroad program. It may be possible to satisfy an ILE, Science Inquiry, or Quantitative Literacy course  but this requires more advanced planning.  

Advising: 

Students should speak to the COB advising office regarding their study abroad plans. 

Key questions to ask?

  • What are my remaining degree requirements?
  • What are the prereqs for the Core courses that I want to take abroad?
  • When will I apply for admission to the COB?
  • What remaining admission requirements must I fulfill, and how will study abroad impact my progress?
  • Which of my remaining degree requirements could I complete abroad? Are there any that I cannot take abroad?
