Credits

To be eligible for the Australia Studies Centre, applicants must be enrolled as full-time students and receive academic credit for the program from their home institution. ASC serves as an extension campus of the member schools of the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities. 

The program recommends to home institutions that students be granted the equivalent of 16 semester hours of credit (24 units), which may be distributed in a variety of ways. Credits are generally applied to a student's academic major, minor or general education requirements. All courses are upper-level courses.
