Will my courses count for IAPA?

• Two courses per semester — for a total of four if abroad for one year — may be applied toward IAPA.
• Core courses (Gateway, Track Foundational, Junior Seminar, and Senior Capstone) must be taken at Brown.
• If going abroad for entire junior year, students must seek approval from the IAPA Faculty Director to take a junior seminar abroad PRIOR to going abroad.
• IAPA credit is dependent upon course content and level.
• Most students use study abroad to fulfill a track elective requirement.
