Study Away Programs by common Majors and Minors
Program Matching
The programs listed below are suggested matches based on curriculum similarities with the Roanoke College catalog of courses. These do not represent guaranteed transfer credit and students who study away with the Office of Global Engagement complete the Transfer Credit Authorization Form. The Transfer Credit approval process begins as a conversation between the student and their academic advisor(s) to determine the hypothetical courses a student would take at Roanoke College in a given semester and then considering the likely equivalents at other institutions. Use the links on this page to find the courses at a number of study away programs.
Note that this is a list of some of the most common Majors, Minors, and Concentrations and not a complete or comprehensive list. Please contact the Office of Global Engagement about the best fit for your studies.
Highlighted Programs
Program highlighted in maroon are those with a significant number of possibly equivalent courses (contingent on RC faculty approval) in a chosen Major, Minor, or Concentration. When choosing a program, a student must consider what classes they need to take for their major, minor, and concentration graduation requirements. In a typical college semester, the typical student takes four classes, but could also take only three or possibly five courses - a semester away works the same way. If you need to take 2 or more classes for your Major, Minor, or Concentration, you'll need to restrict your search to the highlighted programs.
