Program Details
Patti McGill Peterson Center for International and Intercultural Studies
Denmark Academics
St. Lawrence students must:
- Enroll in a full course load, 15 credit hours.
- Take Danish as one of their courses.
Students choose from one of the programs below. Most of the programs have one required core course, occasionally two are required. A student's choice of a particular core course automatically enrolls the student in the corresponding program. Students cannot take the core courses of two different programs.
Besides the program's core course(s) and Danish, students take electives. Generally, each course in Denmark is worth 3 credits, but DIS also offers many 1 credit courses. When loking up courses, students must pay close attention to the number of credits awarded in each course. Keep in mind that students must register for a minimum of 15 credits. This is not an overload.
