COMMUNICATION STUDIES COURSE INFORMATION
Once you have identified the courses you would like to take while studying abroad, please review the
Department of Communication Studies’ course offerings. You will need to find UNC-CH courses that
specifically correspond to ones you plan to take abroad. Classes that do not have a direct equivalent UNC-CH
course should reasonably be able to fall into one of our four concentrations (Interpersonal and Organizational
Communication; Media and Technology Studies and Production; Performance Studies; Rhetorical Studies).
Courses can be counted towards your concentration or major elective requirements. Students are not
permitted to take more than half of their major courses abroad.
Please include an electronic copy of the syllabus (in English) for each course you list below. Syllabi must
include a detailed list of the course readings and assignments. Courses cannot be considered for review
without a copy of the syllabus.

PLEASE NOTE: This form is used to determine the likelihood of certain study abroad courses to be approved
for credit within the Communication Studies major. Completion of this form does not guarantee approval of
any course.
Courses taken abroad cannot be officially approved for credit for the Communication Studies major until the
student returns to UNC-CH. At that time, students will complete Course Request Forms through the Study
Abroad Office. Please retain all syllabi and coursework from your study abroad classes as such information
might be needed during the evaluation process.
ALL COURSES MUST BE REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE DIRECTOR OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES TO
RECEIVE CREDIT TOWARDS THE MAJOR. EVEN COURSES WITH SIMILAR TITLES MAY HAVE SUBSTANTIALLY
DIFFERENT CONTENT, AND THUS MUST BE EVALUATED FOR EQUIVALENCY BY THE DEPARTMENT.
