Spring Semester 2013
All classes are 3 credit hours each. Students may select 4 or 5 courses,
earning 12 to 15 hours. Most students choose to take only 12 hours in Italy
in order to take advantage of travel opportunities while abroad.
After accepted students have chosen classes, the Continuing Studies office will take care of
all the registrations for those classes. Special section numbers will be created for Italy
classes so registration will NOT be done on-line, by the student, as it is during other
semesters.
