What Should You Be Doing in Order to Study Globally?

Below is a specific list of what you can do to prepare for study away as a first-year, sophomore, junior, and senior!

First Year Students

Sophomores

• Talk to your academic advisor or Director of Academic Engagement about course planning for a semester ora academic year away from Duke.

• Talk to faculty and former study abroad and U.S.-based program participants for recommendations and advice.

• Consider a Duke summer abroad or U.S.based program – first year students are welcome to apply and participate!

Study Abroad Myth Busters Myth #1: I will not receive major, minor, or certificate credit or fulfill any of my graduation requirements on a study away program.

When you study on Duke-administered programs you earn Duke credit, or a combination of Duke credit and transfer credit. Duke courses taken on study away fulfill the same requirements as on-campus courses. When you study on Duke-approved programs or Duke-in hybrid programs that include transfer credit, you should consult the Director of Undergraduate Studies in your major department to find out if, and how many, transfer credits may be applied towards your major. Transfer credit can still allow you to fulfill some major, minor, and certificate requirements as well as Areas of Knowledge requirements. Successful competition of a semester study away program will in any case allow you to receive four credits that will count towards graduation requirements.

art history in Rome, or engineering in Madrid— all taught in English.

Further, you can fulfill your language requirements on Duke-administered and Duke-approved programs in a country where the target language is spoken (i.e. French in France or Senegal, Spanish in Spain or Argentina). If you study a language on a Dukeapproved program you will have to request foreign language (FL) coding for your language courses taken abroad, just as you would have to request Modes of Inquiry coding for any transfer course.

Myth #3: I cannot use financial aid to help pay for my summer, semester, or academic year study away program.

If you receive financial aid during the academic year, you are eligible to apply for financial aid for up to two Duke-administered summer study away programs (and/or summer sessions in Durham). This aid is offered in addition to the eight basic academic-year semesters of financial aid. Financial aid is also available on a semester basis for the full program budget of Duke-administered and Duke-approved programs. The costs under consideration include: tuition and fees, housing, meals, books and supplies, visas and vaccinations, airfare, and other personal expenses. If you receive financial aid at Duke and decide to participate in a Dukeadministered program, your cost will remain the same as a semester on campus, even if

Myth #2: I need to be fluent in a foreign language in order to study in a country where the native language is something other than English.

Study away is not limited to language majors or to those with a knowledge of foreign language. Duke endorses programs that focus on foreign language acquisition as well as programs taught in English in a variety of subjects in many countries, even countries where English is not the native language. For example, you can study economics in Venice,

EXPLORE YOUR OPTIONS

your program is more expensive. If you decide to participate in a Duke-approved program, you will receive financial aid for your study away experience in the same proportion as for your studies on campus, but never more than your financial aid at Duke. In this case your family contribution will remain the same, provided the cost of the program doesn’t exceed the cost of a semester at Duke.

Myth #4: I can only study away once.

An increasing number of students want to experience more than one region or program.

For this reason, you can decide to participate in more than one study away program during your time at Duke. The best way to fit two study away programs is to meet with your academic advisor and plan your academic schedule early to ensure that you can fit your course requirements into your experiences!

You can consider studying away in the summer and also enroll in a semester program. You can choose to participate in two summer study away programs. You can spend one semester on a program and a second semester on a different program in a different location. You can even leave for a semester and then decide to extend your study away to a full academic year.

Myth #5: I can only study away if I am majoring in the humanities or social sciences.

There are several programs and locations with engineering and science classes, as well as science themes. We recommend discussing your interests and options with a GEO advisor.

This is NOT a comprehensive list of available courses. It represents only those courses that have been approved. Additional courses can be approved by following the course approval process outlined under ‘Academics’ at globaled.duke.edu.

Myth #6: Studying away in the spring is not an option.

Although more Duke students study away during the summer or the fall semester, a spring program might work better for you. A few Duke-In programs are only offered in the spring, including Duke in Los Angeles, Duke in New York: Financial Markets, and Duke in D.C. You should assess your own personal needs and academic goals when choosing the best time for you to study away.

You might find that studying away in the spring provides more flexibility with your academic schedule at Duke or creates an opportunity to take courses that you were not considering.

New This Year: GEO Peer Advising Program Starting September 12, 2018, three GEO Peer Advisors will be available for questions on a drop-in basis at Smith Warehouse. Interested students are invited to stop by Smith during scheduled hours – no appointment is needed.

The Global Education Office decided to launch the peer advising program to provide a resource for students who are in the early stages of seeking information about study away.

GEO regional advisor Abigail Grubbs said, “We expect the peer advising program to be most useful to those students who have a few general questions but aren’t yet at a point where they feel ready to book an appointment with one of the regional advisors.”

GEO Peer Advisors are prepared to help students compare the various types of study away programs available and weigh the pros and cons. They can also give a general overview of the application process and deadlines. However, the category of questions the GEO Peer Advisors are best equipped to answer is, “What’s it like?”

All three peer advisors have done more than one study away program during their time at Duke, and they are eager to answer students’ questions from an insider’s perspective.

Surafel Adere ’19 will be on rotation as a GEO Peer Advisor this year. He said students can expect to get honest answers to questions that might be awkward to ask in a typical advising session. By talking to another Duke student,

advisees can ask more nuanced questions about how studying away compares to studying at Duke.

For students who are worried or unsure about the idea of study away, the GEO Peer Advisors can offer support by sharing the ups and downs of their own experiences. Surafel said, “Studying abroad wasn’t always easy. I faced various challenges along the way – emotionally, physically and mentally.”

Briana “Bri” Kleiner ’19 said, “I know that studying abroad is scary, especially if it will be your first time outside of the United States or even outside of your home state. I am here to advise you, support you and ease your anxiety about the study abroad experience.”

To meet this year’s GEO Peer Advisors, visit globaled.duke.edu under ‘Advising > Ask a Student’.

Why should I study away?

Nearly half of all Duke undergraduates study away. What makes the option to study away for a summer, semester, or even academic year so appealing?

Studying and living abroad, or even living in another city within the United States, exposes you to new learning experiences that spur intellectual development, awaken you to your own capabilities, and add to your base of practical knowledge. The opportunities for growth are boundless when you study away.

Further, if you want your foreign languagespeaking abilities to flourish, nothing is more effective than living among native speakers.

Duke student Eric Biehn ’20 studied on the Duke in China language intensive program.

Eric said, “Because of how much I enjoyed China, I am pursuing a Chinese minor at Duke to further my understanding of the Chinese language and culture. In the future, I hope to return to China to pursue a career involving international relations between the United States and China.”

Getting out of your comfort zone leads to many new self-discoveries and creates space in your life for new friendships. Upon entering a culture different from your own, you are required to adapt, which may cause you to examine certain beliefs or practices that you had taken for granted.

Surafel Adere ‘19 studied away on three different programs. Reflecting back on the experience overall, he said, “I was able to grow a stronger sense of identity and became much more confident in who I am.

Emotionally-triggering experiences inclined me to look inside myself and undergo a series of self-reflections; empowering me to genuinely filter through, rescale, and reconcile my values and priorities. And once I stopped critiquing different livelihoods under a conventional American lens, I developed my tolerance and grew a stronger appreciation

in political science and more specifically, international relations. For anyone considering a study abroad program: DO IT! The idea can be intimidating, as well as figuring out the logistics, but it’s absolutely worth it.”

Another major benefit of studying away is that it can help you clarify career decisions and academic interests. After completing the Duke in the Arab World summer program, Anna Klingensmith ’21 said, “Studying citizenship and governance [in Morocco] has

Getting out of your comfort zone leads to many new selfdiscoveries and creates space in your life for new friendships. for diversity, multiculturalism, and cultural awareness.”

Study away teaches you to embrace rather than avoid the unknown, an approach that opens you to positive experiences in other contexts beyond study away.

Brittney Peacock ’21, a political science major who participated in Duke in Oxford said, ”At Oxford, I had the incredible opportunity to study the political system of Britain. It was through this program that I discovered that I have a deep interest

helped me learn more about international policy and comparative governing structures.

As a public policy major, I am thankful that I’ve had my mind opened this way.”

The Global Education Office for Undergraduates (GEO) offers a great variety of programs to Duke students with a wide range of interests. To learn more about your study away options, make an appointment with a GEO advisor at globaled.duke.edu/advising.

BUILD YOUR NETWORK AROUND THE WORLD

Establish Professional Relationships

Connect with Duke Alumni “My greatest takeaway from the program was the numerous opportunities to have one-on-one conversations with alumni. It was invaluable for me to learn about the different careers on Wall Street, directly from people currently working in finance jobs. I also was very surprised at how extensive the Duke network is in New York City and the willingness of alumni to help students interested in finance, like myself.”

–Gina Rhee Duke in New York: Financial Markets & Institutions

“My favorite aspect of the Duke in LA program was my internship experience. I had the awesome opportunity to intern for FOX Sports as a data analyst, which was absolutely incredible because it was a unique intersection of my academic focuses (Statistics and Visual Media Studies) and my passion for sports. The work culture was young and vibrant and really motivated me to produce my most creative and highest quality work.

I’ve developed not only a ton of professional relationships but also awesome friendships. The biggest gain aside from relationships was that the internship greatly helped me refine and shape my career goals.”

–Kaila Perez Duke in Los Angeles

Engage in a New Work Culture “One thing I learned from working in an office was that Chinese work culture is another entity all to its own. Learning how to engage with Chinese coworkers, with my boss, and being able to navigate the Chinese work environment were all very useful.

It helped me understand what Chinese work customs and norms are and how I can best integrate myself into them.”

How To Choose a Global Education Program Keep in mind that there is no “one size fits all” in study away. The choice needs to be an individual one based upon your academic and personal goals. It is important not to rush into a program choice without considering all of the options (and there are many!), however tempting it may be to simply follow the choices of your peers. The road less traveled often leads to the greatest rewards.

So how do you identify the program which is the best fit for you?

You need to ask yourself some questions about your academic goals, and how the various programs might help you achieve them.

1. Credits • What courses and how many credits will your department accept towards a major, minor, or certificate program?

• Will you be able to earn Areas of Knowledge and/or Modes of Inquiry needed for graduation?

2. Language of Instruction • Is one of your goals to improve your fluency in a foreign language?

• Are classes conducted in English or in the language of the host country?

• What are the language requirements for applicants to the program?

3. Duration of the Program • Is this a year-long program, semester, or summer program?

• How long can you be away from Duke?

• Does the academic calendar of the program impact your summer or winter break plans?

4. Level of Immersion in the Host Institution • Do you want a high level of support and structure in your program or do you desire to be as independent as possible?

• Is there a Resident Director, or any staff who work solely with program participants?

• Will you enroll directly in classes at a local university, or is there a separate academic center for the program?

• Are there special classes at the academic center? If so, in what subjects, and who teaches them?

• If you enroll directly at the university, will you be taking separate classes specially designed for program students, or will your classmates be from the host university?

5. Living Arrangements • Will you live with a host family, in an apartment, or in a residence hall?

• How far is the housing from the university or program center?

• How much privacy/personal

independence does the housing offer?

• Who will arrange the housing?

• Are meals included? Can the program accommodate students with special dietary needs (e.g. food allergies)?

6. Fees • What does the program cost cover?

Does it cover tuition, books, housing, meals, special excursions, and airfare, etc.?

• Are there not-so-obvious expenses you should take into account?

• Are there scholarships available to help pay for the program?

7. Eligibility Requirements • Is there a minimum GPA or class standing requirement for the program?

• Are there other prerequisites, and do you meet them?

• Is the program limited to degreeseeking university students?

• How selective is the program? Will you need to apply early and/or prepare an application for a back-up program?

8. Participants • Is the group large, medium, or small and do you feel comfortable with that?

• Will you take courses with local students, students from US based universities, or international students? continued on page 15

Six Tips for a Successful Homestay Whether you’re studying abroad for a summer, semester or year, living with a local family can provide opportunities to gain an in-depth understanding of the host culture, improve your language skills, and create lasting relationships. All homestay experiences are different, but many Duke students say that their experience living with a local family was a favorite aspect of their time abroad.

Apart from linguistic and cultural challenges, living with a family may take some adjustment after a year or more of living independently at Duke. Here are some tips for a good homestay experience.

1. Talk about your food preferences at the beginning.

Don’t be shy about talking about your likes and dislikes with your family. This will help you avoid awkward situations later. If possible, go to the grocery store or market with your family and pick out a few foods you like. Not only is this a good bonding experience, but you can learn a lot about the host culture and food this way. Keep in mind that some food that is common in the U.S. may be rare or expensive abroad.

2. That being said, be open to trying new food!

A good tip for study abroad in general is to be open to new experiences, and food is a good place to start. Try everything and anything once, and be sure to compliment the chef when you really like something!

3. Ask about your family’s habits and rules, then follow them.

Most host families will not have draconian rules (if they seem unreasonable, contact your resident director), but many will ask students to let them know when they expect to be home, or if they won’t be home for a meal. Your host mom may ask you to do your own laundry, or she may prefer to do it for you. Every family’s habits and rules are different. Asking about them at the start will help you and your family feel more comfortable.

4. Be considerate.

Even if your family doesn’t have rules, be considerate of the other

people you live with. This means keeping your room neat, telling them when and where you plan to travel and how you should be contacted in case of an emergency and letting them know when to expect you home when you go out. You shouldn’t come home drunk or wake up the family at 3am because you can’t find your keys. You should ask permission to have friends over, and don’t assume that you can have overnight guests.

5. Ask questions about the language or culture.

Your host family is one of the best sources for firsthand knowledge of the local culture and language. Be sure to take advantage of this by asking questions and not being afraid to make mistakes. A good sense of humor also goes a long way when you’re navigating a new cultural and linguistic situation.

6. Balance travel with participating in family activities.

It might be difficult to form a bond with your host family if you spend all your time off from classes traveling. On the other hand, it’s hard to resist getting to know new places in your host country and beyond. Try to strike a balance between spending time in your host city and time traveling. It may be a good idea to talk to your family and ask if there are any birthdays or special celebrations that you should consider when making travel plans.

If you’re interested in studying abroad on a program with a homestay component, consider the following Duke programs:

• Is it possible to speak with a student who has recently participated in the program?

We always recommend that you start by looking at Duke’s own programs (Duke-Ins), for which you pay Duke tuition and mostly earn in-residence Duke credits. If there is a Duke program that suits your goals, this is usually the simplest option.

If you do not find what you seek among the Duke-In programs, you may wish to explore the Duke-Approved Program List on the GEO website.

This list, which is updated yearly, includes about 130 non-Duke program options currently approved for transfer credit. The list is organized by region and country, and contains links to each program’s website.

Back To Back: How I Studied Abroad Twice in the Same Summer In the summer after her sophomore year at Duke, Tiffany de Guzman (‘19) did two Duke-In summer programs: Duke in Bologna and Duke in Oxford. In this interview, Tiffany shares what motivated her to tackle four credits in one summer and offers advice for others considering doing the same.

Global Education Office: How did you decide to do two programs in the same summer?

Tiffany de Guzman: I knew from the very first time I heard about Duke in Bologna that I wanted to participate in the program. I had fallen in love with the Italian language and knew that I wanted an opportunity to develop my Italian in Italy.

However, like many Duke students, I felt like I couldn’t just apply to one program for the summer, I’d want to have a backup plan, so I started going through every summer study away program that GEO offers (I was clearly very eager). I began to narrow down the programs by how well they would fit my majors, whether I needed to know another language or not, and simply how interested I was in the program’s location.

As my search went on, I quickly realized that there was nothing stopping me from applying to a program that I could do WITH Duke in Bologna if I got accepted into both. Instead of spending half of my summer sitting at home on my couch, I could rack up four credits that would all count towards my GPA in a 13-week period.

After coming to this realization, I had no difficulty choosing which Term 2 program to apply to—Duke in Oxford was the clear choice. The program aligned perfectly with my Political Science and International Comparative Studies majors, I would have a week between the two programs, and I would get to say that I studied at one of the most prestigious universities in the world.

GEO: What advice do you have for students considering the back-to-back approach?

TDG: Think of your back-to-back experience as being two incredible opportunities instead of a summer full of classes. To be honest, I didn’t even realize that I had been going to school for eight months straight until I got back to Duke in the fall and someone else pointed it out to me. Two programs and thirteen weeks away doesn’t feel like a grueling semester at all.

The best part of doing back-to-back programs is that halfway through your summer, you get to switch your country, your classes, your professors, and your peers. There’s no risk of feeling drained because your enthusiasm immediately gets restored once you switch programs and get an entirely new cohort.

When you’re abroad for an extended period of time, it could be easy to forget how lucky you are to have this opportunity, but doing back-to-back summer programs is the gift that keeps on giving!
