Intercultura offers academic credit options through
several study abroad programs, such as those run by
the University of Washington, Montana State University,
UNC, Duke University (program with the Organization
for Tropical Studies), Austin College, Flagler College,
College de Maisonneuve, and other.
Many universities from a variety of countries also
grant direct credit if you make plans in advance:
if you inform us of your plans we will send curriculum
descriptions and other necessary information to your
university before you arrive. To receive direct credit
(which is often more economical), you need to get
approval from your own institution prior to beginning
your studies. We are happy to provide any necessary
information to help you do this. At the end of your
studies we will also provide, upon request, a detailed
transcript of your work for you to take back to your
host institution.There is a $10 processing fee for
direct credit students.
If you prefer, you may also apply for Transfer Credit
for an additional fee. Students taking at least 40
contact hours at Intercultura are eligible to receive
academic transfer credit through an accredited U.S.
university for an additional fee payable directly
to the university.
Frequently Asked
Questions from Students
Question: What are the
advantages of getting transfer credit from an accredited
U.S. university?
Answer: Colleges and
universities often grant transfer credit easier for
grades received on an official transcript from an
accredited U.S. university.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question: Would there
ever be a reason why my college or university would
not accept transfer credits from an accredited U.S.
university?
Answer: The requirements
for receiving transfer credit vary amongst colleges
and universities. Often, transfer credit that cannot
be granted to fulfill major or minor requirements
can be granted to fulfill elective and total number
of hour requirements. Students should consult their
academic advisor for assistance. Students should not
seek transfer credit for a class that they have already
taken or that is similar in content. For example,
if you have taken a Beginning Spanish I course at
your college or university, you probably cannot receive
transfer credit for Elementary Spanish I.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question: How soon will
my university or college receive my grades?
Answer: An official
transcript is sent to the college or university office
that is designated by the student 4-6 weeks after
the close of the academic session.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
