Student exchange programs lead to greater international understanding. Each year SCMS students have multiple opportunities to pursue a semester abroad. At the same time, SCMS also welcomes multiple exchange students from all around the world.
Spending a semester abroad is oftentimes very difficult for students as they need to make up for all the lost work. To foster and facilitate semester exchange, the idea of a floating credits semester took root that evolved into ‘Global Immersion Program’.
At SCMS, the fourth semester has been identified as the ‘Global Immersion Program ‘semester During the GIP semester, SCMS students have the freedom to complete any 12 credits of their choice a partner university of SIU across the globe and SCMS will let them transfer those credits.
The students who do not go on semester abroad can also benefit from the floating credits semester as they get to explore interdisciplinary courses.
