Petition Letter

Petition Letter: I will be going to Yonsei University in Korea to finish my first semester of third year study. I have already completed my application to Yonsei University. My Film and Media Program encourages us to study elsewhere during our third year, so there is no 300-level core course.

I chose to study in Korea for a semester first because I needed to have a broad international perspective as a film and media major. Not only the Chinese and Canadian way of media, but also the knowledge of Korean media. Secondly, I want to learn Korean, which will help me learn Korean better by communicating with my new classmates in the language environment of Yonsei University.

And Prof. Pelstring, Undergraduate Chair, Dept. of Film and Media Studies, reviewed my plan to study abroad and she supported my plan to take classes elsewhere.

Academic Plan

Academic Plan: I am currently in the Film and Media program and I have completed all of the courses required at the 100 and 200 levels. In the next two years I will need to complete two 400 level core courses, five 300 level option courses and two 400 level option courses in my major. I will only need two semesters to complete all of these courses. My studies elsewhere will not affect my study of the major at all.

I will complete five elective courses at Yonsei University as a full time student.

My classes at Yonsei will also be taught in full English, so I will not have any language problems. As an international student, I am used to studying in an unfamiliar environment and I am very proficient and enjoy it.
