GS 250/251 - International Studies
Description
General Studies 250 (Section 1) is an internet based class required for students who intend to study abroad while at Fort Lewis College.
The first half (4 weeks) may be taken any semester before going abroad and is designed to help students investigate the numerous destinations and programs available to them.
Once a program and region have been chosen, students will research specific information about the destination they have chosen.
It is during this section that students will evaluate how this experience will or will not fit into their academic plan.
The second half of GS250 (251) must be taken the semester preceding a study abroad experience.
This is when students will enter into the application process and complete the necessary paperwork specific to their program, before going abroad.
Admission requirements, housing information, travel arrangements and visa procedures change frequently and paperwork must be as current as possible.
It is NOT possible to "get this all done" months ahead of time, leaving it on file, ready to be submitted when you finally decide to go abroad.
The International Programs Office will only process student applications submitted through this class.
