Study Abro a d Northwestern encourages qualified students to pur- sue study abroad when such study promises to enrich their academic program. The Office of Study Abroad provides advice to students about available foreign study options. Any undergraduate student who de- sires to transfer credit earned through foreign study to Northwestern must receive the approval of the Office of Study Abroad prior to embarking on a for- eign study program. Students also are required to re- view their plans with the dean’s office of the school in which they are registered. In most cases, a fee is charged for the transfer of credit earned in study abroad programs. Most Northwestern students studying abroad do so in one of the University’s affiliated foreign study programs. Countries in which affiliated programs are currently available include Egypt, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Japan, the People’s Republic of China, Russia, Spain, and the United Kingdom.

The Writing Program helps to oversee writing requirements—and thus provides writing advising— for undergraduates in the College of Arts and Sciences, McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science, School of Music, and some programs in the School of Speech. Members of the Writing Program faculty also occasionally teach specialized courses and workshops. In recent years, these offerings have included courses in technical writing, a residential college tutorial on manage- ment communication, and a course in the Women’s Stud- ies Program, Writing Women’s Lives. In all its courses and special offerings, the Writing Program concentrates on helping students develop skill, confidence, and insight as writers.
