options available in Athens or Rome. APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR JYA PROGRAMS: JYA applicants should have their files completed no later than October 1 of the year prior to foreign study. Applications should be made to, and information is available from, the Center for International Studies, 116 Newcomb Hall, with the exception of Architecture students who apply through their Dean. Application is made generally at the end of the freshman or very early in the sophomore year, with the exception of Architecture students, who apply to their Dean in the fall of the third year. Space is limited in each program. A faculty advisory committee, the Executive Director of the Center for International Studies, and Deans, and the host institution select participants. The School of Architecture faculty advises the University International Studies Committee of those students enrolled in TSA who are accepted to the program. At the time of application for Junior Year Abroad Programs, students should have the cumulative GPA required by his/her school or college for JYA participation (Architecture - 3.3 for all programs; Engineering - 3.0 for all programs; Tulane, Newcomb, Business - 3.0 for all programs except that of the U.K. and Ireland which requires a 3.3.) As courses are conducted in the language of the country, proficiency in the language of the host country is required by most programs. Selection is based on the number of placements available and student qualifications. In general, a student should be able to demonstrate academic achievement, intellectual and emotional maturity, and evidence of good character, as well as the likelihood of sustained interest and self-sufficiency to complete the program with satisfaction to the student and credit to the program. Students must have completed division proficiency requirements before participating in Junior Year Abroad. The student's good health must be certified by a physician. Students on academic, disciplinary, or Honor Board probation may apply for JYA programs but are not eligible to participate until their records are re-evaluated. Most scholarships, grants, and loans may be applied to JYA program costs. The JYA program costs include Tulane University tuition, program specific student activity fees, room and board, international and local travel, personal expenses, books and supplies, and passport and visa charges. Program costs vary from country to country. SEMESTER ABROAD PROGRAMS Semester Abroad Programs are designed for students who are unable to commit themselves to the educational and cultural immersion of a full year abroad but still wish to have a significant international experience. Semester Abroad Programs offer a wide range of course-work appropriate to a variety of majors, the opportunity to study in English as well as undertake foreign language study, and, frequently, coursework in a foreign language. Semester programs are an excellent way to introduce oneself to a new culture as well as deepen area study interests. In addition to the following programs, the Freeman School of
