The credit earned and how it works in your degree plan depends on which type of program you choose:
- Programs / courses taught by TCU faculty (TCU Summer / Short-Term Programs): you will enroll in a TCU course and get direct credit. All major, minor, and core attribute will be identified by the course catalog.
- Programs / courses taught at another university / institution for which TCU gives you credit (TCU-In Programs and Global Portfolio Programs): Your coursework may be eligible to count for major, minor, core, or upper level elective credits. You will work through the credit approval process with your academic advisors and dean to determine how the coursework abroad will apply to your degree plan (major, minor, core, or upper level elective requirements).
All coursework, regardless of program type, counts for grades and will be included in your TCU GPA.
Your program will provide a grade conversion indicating how the grades from abroad will be converted to the TCU scale.
