ORIENTATION PROGRAM All students participating in Olin semester programs are required to enroll and participate in pre-departure and post-departure coursework. INTL 300A Planning for International Learning is a 1.5 credit mini-B course designed to prepare students for their experience overseas the semester before they actually travel. INTL 300B Applying International Experiences is a required mini-A post-departure class that will discuss what students learned while abroad and help students articulate those lessons for employers, graduate schools, etc.
An Orientation Program is also organized each term during the Italian Language Crash Courses period. It is usually organized in four sessions with the main purpose to give the students a first general overview on cultural, political and social characters of Italy and its people. A special session on rules and regulations organized by the International Student Desk is mandatory.
