Junior Year at St. Andrews

Study abroad during the junior year is one option for physics concentrators. William and Mary has a cooperative agreement with St. Andrews University in Scotland that makes this possible.

This program is administered by the Reves Center for International Studies. Interested students should contact the Reves Center for guidance. The Physics Department determines eligibilty requirements and transfer credit.

Eligibility requirements: Wiliam and Mary physics concentrators with major and overall QPA's of 3.0 or higher by the end of the sophomore year are eligible to participate.

Transfer Credit: Equivalent transfer credit is granted according to the table below. Note that credits transfer for a passing grade (currently a 5 or better on the 1-20 scale used at St. Andrews ), but no grade is displayed on the William and Mary transcript. For courses not on this list, consult with the Chair of the Physics Department Undergraduate Committee.
