Study Abroad credit
Students may fulfill some MEJO curriculum requirements while studying abroad, including:
- Two journalism or Ad/PR area of study courses at level 1, 2 or 3
- Two conceptual courses
- One choice course
Students may not fulfill core course requirements (MEJO 153, 121 and 340/341) or capstone courses (600-level) while studying abroad.
