American College Credit

Earn academic credit for American colleges

Eurolingua Study Abroad Programmes are designed to provide foreign language learning opportunities in the countries where the target languages are spoken so you can gain American college credit.

Programmes are suitable for all ages and levels and for students, teachers and all members of the community who wish to experience foreign travel and earn academic credit while studying abroad with the Eurolingua Institute. Participants have the opportunity to learn outside the classroom and to take advantage of materials and locations which are available only through travel. Participants will be expected to describe how they will use the material developed and apply the knowledge gained to earn their US college credits.

Programmes are offered in conjunction with two accredited US Universities. During the past 21 years, over 15,000 registrants have enrolled. Programmes where you can earn college credits cover all group language programmes, language homestays (living abroad in the teacher’s home) and international internships offered by the Eurolingua Institute in 9 languages, 35 countries worldwide.
 
American College Credit is awarded for:
  • Hours and days spent at home preparing and researching in advance of the Eurolingua Study Abroad Experience.
  • Foreign language study at a selected Eurolingua institute.
  • Participation in work experience and internship programmes.
  • Foreign language study on a Eurolingua language homestay.
  • Hours spent on completing projects set by the professor upon return home.
If you would like to earn college credit abroad then please fill in an admissions form or if you require any further information please contact us.
Students may earn 5 or 10 quarter credits for each course in which they enroll. For example:  

Hum 292 French Language for 10 credits
SSC 297 Travel Study/Social Science for 5 or 10 credits
Students may also mix and match courses if extra credits are needed for transfer purposes.

Please contact us for the course syllabi and enrolment forms. Payments should be made by credit card or cheque directly to the American College.  

Tips for students seeking to earn academic credit:
The American College is accredited by Northwest Association Colleges and Universities.

  • Upon completion of all course requirements, you will receive "letter" grade and official transcripts.
  • Students who desire their home university to accept these US college credits must seek approval of their home school before enrolment. This usually involves a "petition" form from the study abroad office or general advisement center. Your advisor should assist you with this petition application form.
  • At the time you present your petition form, you are also advised to present copies of the course syllabi from the American College along with any curriculum material from your Eurolingua Institute language immersion programme.
