CS Study Away Guidelines and Information
General information:
- Study Away credit for CS courses is possible at most English speaking programs
- Credit may be obtained for non-English programs on a case-by-case basis
- Common programs: AIT Budapest, WEPO
- Common core courses taken abroad: Theory of Computation, Algorithms, Programming Languages
- Students generally find courses taken abroad to be less rigorous than our courses
- Beware of prerequisites and assumed prior knowledge (particularly for systems-oriented electives)
- You may receive credit for no more than 2 CS courses (elective or core) and 1 Math course
- You cannot receive credit for the same course twice (i.e., If you take Machine Learning abroad, you cannot take it at Williams.)
- A student studying away on a program approved by the International Education and Study Away Office will receive four colloquium credits for each semester away, up to a total of eight credits.
Guidelines:
- You must get approval for courses you plan to take abroad for credit before taking them
- To get approval, email Mark Hopkins ([email protected]) with a syllabus and course description for each course you plan to take
- Upon returning to Williams, submit Study Away Evaluation form to receive course credit
