Global Opportunities

The Department of Romance Studies encourages students to take advantage of global opportunities while at Duke. Listed below you will find some of the options currently available. 

Duke Global Education Office

Several programs offered through the Duke University Global Education Office for Undergraduates are jointly administered by the Department of Romance Studies, have faculty and staff participants in the programs, or involve a substantial language component. There are also many other global education programs available that are administered by other organizations. See the Global Education Office website.

Some courses taken through study away not falling into the "Duke in" category may potentially count for Transfer Credit for Graduation and/or FL coding. These are two separate processes, so please read the Transfer Credit/FL instructions document below, very carefully. The aforementioned courses may also potentially count toward major or minor requirements with approval.  For these non-"Duke in" courses/programs students must petition approval through the GEO website in a timely manner in order to be evaluated by the DUS/LPD of the RS department. Study away courses may fulfill Trinity FL (foreign language) requirements for graduation, but (with the exception of these pre-approved FL courses) you must petition the course evaluation. IMPORTANT: Before your program starts please view the Transfer Credit / FL Instructions form to understand the timelines for these petitions:
