Application Process for Programs Approved for
Smith Credit

Applying to study abroad on a program approved for Smith credit is a two part process. A student must be accepted by the program she wishes to attend AND have Smith approval for her study abroad plans. To seek approval from Smith College, submit a Study Abroad Credit Application to the Office for International Study.

• Check study abroad eligibility requirements and deadlines.
• Read the Study Abroad Guide.
• Research program options and decide on a maximum of two possibilities.
• Confer with faculty advisers in your major.
• Submit a Study Abroad Credit Application to Smith's Office for International Study by the deadline.
• Apply directly to the program(s) you wish to attend, well in advance of program deadlines.

• Personal Statement
• Official Transcript
• Letter(s) of Recommendation
