Academic Information

COURSE AVAILABILITY

• The course list below indicates the proposed courses for the upcoming semester. The host university has not yet confirmed the current course list at this time. This site will be updated once ISA Veritas receives the updated list of courses, along with a note notifying students of the change.
• Availability of courses is based on enrollment numbers. All students should seek pre-approval for alternate courses in the event of last minute class cancellations.

LANGUAGE PLACEMENT

• Students must have completed at least 2 semesters of college-level Spanish or the equivalent if looking to take courses in Spanish.
• Students in the Back-to-Back program who have not completed at least two semesters of college-level Spanish (or the equivalent) are required to take a high-beginning language course during the Summer 4 session and may only take one course in English due to course availability during the second term.
• Students looking to only take courses in English do not need to meet the language requirement.
• Enrollment in Spanish courses is determined by the results of a language placement exam administered by the host university. Please note that your performance on the placement exam may not reflect the number of semesters of language instruction you've already completed at your home university. We strongly suggest that students who are trying to place into any level of language beyond true beginning prepare for the language placement exam by reviewing previous coursework.

ISA COURSE LEVEL RECOMMENDATION

• ISA Veritas offers course level recommendations for the courses listed below. Please note that recommendations are based on the host university course codes. The structure of course codes at the ISA Study Center consists of a series of prefixes and numbers. The course code prefix is a three-letter designator for a major division of academic discipline or area of study. The course code number is a three-digit designator for the course level/year taught (first digit), and range of content specificity (second and third digits). The letter (E) following a course code indicates the course is taught in English. The letter (S) following a course code indicated the course is taught in Spanish. Based on this information, ISA Veritas recommends that courses starting with the numbers 1 and 2 be classified as lower division, while courses starting with the numbers 3 and 4 be classified as upper division. These ISA Veritas recommendations are intended to facilitate the determination of course equivalencies by advisors and credential evaluators at participants' U.S. home institutions.
