Fulfilling Requirements

All credit-bearing courses abroad offered by CGI or the Learning Abroad Center (LAC) fulfill the Carlson International Experience.

Undergraduate Students

Some Global Enrichment programs fulfill a degree requirement for all Carlson undergraduate students (ACCT 3001, HRIR 3021, and MGMT 3033W) and may also fulfill a liberal education or writing intensive requirement.
3 Global Enrichment programs fulfill a degree requirement for some Carlson undergraduate students, depending on their major and other coursework already taken (MGMT 3010, MGMT 4050, and MKTG 4082W) and may also fulfill a liberal education or writing intensive requirement.
1 Global Enrichment program is an elective course for Carlson undergraduate students (IBUS 3080), and fulfills liberal education requirements.
Courses taught abroad at partner business schools (Global Immersion and summer programs) commonly fulfill Carlson major and minor requirements. Students generally plan to receive credit for 1-2 courses toward their major or another specific requirement while the other credits are electives.
A semester abroad fulfills 1 honors course and 1 honors experience for the Undergraduate Honors Program. A short-term program fulfills 1 honors experience.
All Carlson students have a percentage of their total credits (120 required to graduate) available as elective credit. Taking an elective course abroad is an excellent opportunity to study a unique subject which may not be available to them at the University of Minnesota.
Some major courses are offered only once per year. Students should consult with their academic adviser when planning the timing of a semester abroad.
