| Study
abroad Programs: Pros |
Exchange Programs: Pros |
-
With a few exceptions, study abroad programs can
accommodate all qualified students applying to a
given program.
-
•Most
programs in non-English speaking countries are
accessible to the students regardless of their
level in the language of the country.
-
•The
grading system is similar to the US system.
|
-
•If
you are looking for an immersion program,
especially in non-English speaking
countries, this is the best option.
-
•In
terms of cost, the price is either the same,
or very close to what it would be at Truman.
|
| Study
Abroad Programs: Cons |
Exchange Programs: Cons |
-
•All
students on these programs – with a few
exceptions – are
US or International students.
-
•Cost
is based on the cost at the host institution
which is, in most cases, more expensive than
at Truman.
|
-
•Very
competitive.
-
Must apply early.
-
•The language of instruction in
non-English speaking countries is the
language of the country.
Therefore your level in the foreign
language must be above third-year college
level in that language.
