2017 — 2018 Study Abroad Opportunities For Agriculture Majors

College of Agriculture International Programs in Agriculture FOR MORE INFORMATION AND APPLICATIONS CONTACT: International Programs in Agriculture Room 26, Ag Administration Building (AGAD) 765-494-8458 [email protected] www.ag.purdue.edu/ipia/studyabroad APPLY NOW TO STUDY ABROAD Studying abroad is an incredible opportunity! Make sure to take advantage of it before it is too late. There is something for everyone. Study abroad programs are available to all majors within the College of Agriculture. Programs are available for Spring Break or Winter Break, short term summer, summer long term, semester, and year-long. Freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors can study abroad. Seniors are able to study abroad the summer after May commencement. Applications are available online at www.studyabroad.purdue.edu. Visit, email, or call the Agriculture Study Abroad office for more information. We would love to help! OFFICE OF STUDY ABROAD In addition to programs and courses offered through the College of Agriculture, agriculture students are eligible to participate in campus-wide programs offered through the Office of Study Abroad. You are not limited to these programs listed in this brochure. The campus-wide Office of Study Abroad (OSA) handles all the study abroad programs except those administered through International Programs in Agriculture (IPIA). OSA room 105 of Young Hall www.studyabroad.purdue.edu. PROGRAM/COURSE ELEMENTS SEMESTER: Some of the semester exchanges/programs are coordinated through International Programs in Agriculture (IPIA), and some are through the campus-wide Office of Study Abroad (OSA). “IPIA semester programs will be printed in the color GOLD.” For most programs, students will select from courses available at the host institutions. Students will earn a minimum of 12 credits while abroad (most will earn between 15-18 credits). All credits earned overseas will transfer back to Purdue, in most cases for grades and toward plan of study. In this book, the majors within the course offerings are identified for each university. You will find the website for the university and course offerings. All of the programs in this publication have been academically approved by the College of Agriculture. Students who study at one of the approved universities will receive credit and grades for the agricultural courses taken. Students need to make sure the courses they take will fit into their plan of study. LONG TERM SUMMER: Summer programs vary in length, credits earned, and activities. Programs may include classroom study, work/ internship, or research experience. SHORT TERM SUMMER: Short term summer courses are faculty-led and sponsored through individual departments within the College of Agriculture. They are designed so that students still have time to enroll in another summer session course, participate in an internship, or have a summer job. Normally, students earn three credits for the 2-4 week course. Students pay a study abroad fee of $304.70 instead of Purdue summer tuition. SPRING BREAK & WINTER BREAK: Courses are offered for one week to ten days during spring break and winter break. Students earn one or two credits.

2 ELIGIBILITY/REQUIREMENTS Programs are available to all agriculture students who are in good academic standing. Some semester programs have a GPA requirement, but most do not. Winter break, spring break, and summer courses are available to all Purdue students, but agriculture majors will receive priority consideration. For most agriculture study abroad programs, there is no foreign language requirement. Unless otherwise indicated, instruction is in English. Following university policy and college-level guidelines (CSRC, 2017): • Any student on probation at the time of application will not be accepted to a program. • Any student accepted to a semester program who winds up on probation will not be allowed to go abroad for that semester they are on probation. • Any student accepted for a faculty led program who winds up on probation will be reviewed by that faculty member, and IPIA will abide by the faculty decision.

FINANCIAL AID / SCHOLARSHIPS Most forms of Purdue University Financial Aid may be applied to full-time study abroad program fees. Students must have the FAFSA completed by the appropriate deadline to be eligible. All agriculture students are eligible to apply for additional scholarships through IPIA. The amount for each of these awards will depend on the availability of funds. Applications are located in AGAD 26 and online. In addition, some agriculture departments offer scholarships to their students studying abroad. Information about the Purdue moves Study Abroad Scholarship is online at www.studyabroad.purdue.edu under Financial Resources. Students apply through their “my study abroad“ page. OFFICE OF ACADEMIC PROGRAMS FRESHMEN SCHOLARSHIP

Thanks to funding received through the Agriculture Office of Academic Programs, all freshmen are eligible for the “OAP Freshman Study Abroad Scholarship.” Up to twenty-five $200 travel grants will be awarded to eligible students who participate in a winter or spring break study abroad course during their freshman year orto students who participate in a short-term study abroad course the summer following their freshman year. To be eligible: • Students must be in freshman standing (must be in their first or second semester of college-level study). • Students must be enrolled full-time in any agriculture major. • Students must have a cumulative GPA of 2.25 or higher during the semester of scheduled travel. • Students must participate in a College of Agriculture study abroad course or Ag Education Block I Jamaica summer course. INTERNATIONAL UNDERSTANDING CREDITS Agriculture students must earn nine credits of international understanding. All credit earned while studying abroad can be applied toward required international understanding credit.w

INDEPENDENT INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITY Students doing an international activity independently might be able to gain credit and funding. The international activity can be a wide variety of opportunities.
