Academic programs and requirements for a specific study away program, as well as eligibility criteria, etc., are described in detail on the individual program descriptions available via Hornet Passport. The CIP determines which study away programs qualify for transfer of academic credit and Kalamazoo College financial assistance/scholarships. Students should consult the approved Study Away programs list on the Hornet Passport regularly to determine if a program qualifies for the transfer of academic credit and Kalamazoo College financial assistance/scholarships. Programs may be changed, suspended, or withdrawn at any time due to political, economic, global health or other conditions.

The College collaborates with domestic program partners in order to offer a variety of study away experiences. Although they are not operated by Kalamazoo College, the approved programs on the list are permitted for the transfer of academic credit. No special process is required to apply academic credit, earned on these programs, to general graduation requirements.

Students interested in study away programs will need to complete additional application materials for the host institution and be prepared to be the primary contact with the study away program prior to departure. In other words, students will need to communicate directly in a timely manner with the program partner and independently work to turn in materials, forms, and other items by the deadlines designated by the program partner. Upon acceptance, students are encouraged to direct any questions to the contact person for the study away program. Program contacts and email information is located on the Program Contact information pages of this Handbook.
