✨PLANNING YOUR COURSES STRATEGICALLY✨ - Ok everyone, it is registration season. BUT you want to go abroad during your time here at USD. While we have a myriad of study abroad programs with hundreds of courses across them, it’s important to plan strategically. We recommend saving a few core classes for that semester you spend outside of the U.S. to ensure you can take on your normal course load because you planned ahead of time. Take a look at the pre-approved course list for your desired program, see what courses align with the ones you still have to take, then save those for your semester abroad. (And make sure you have backups!) As always, we are here if you have any questions so send us a DM if you need any help! ☺️💖 - @kirstenkuang & @claire_duque looking cold but fabulous during their weekend trip to Copenhagen 💫
