As a CJ student, you can study abroad during almost any semester in your college career with advanced planning. And with opportunities for multiple elective credits in the major, you can study abroad and make progress towards your degree. Discuss study abroad options with your CJ adviser.
Freshman
The best time to start planning for study abroad is your freshman year. You will probably want to take at least one communication and journalism course in preparation for taking additional courses abroad.
Sophomore
The majority of UW-Eau Claire students study abroad as sophomores. You can fulfill both general education requirements and fulfill communication and journalism major requirements or electives.
Junior
Nearly as many students study abroad as juniors. Now you may be more focused on upper-division program courses and electives. Consult with your advisor to understand when you must take required courses.
Senior
You can still study abroad during your senior year. However, you must consult with your adviser to understand how it may affect your graduation. Some required courses and the prerequisites might only be available at UW-Eau Claire in alternating semesters.
