Academic Plan
I wish to take 12 credits while studying abroad, these courses include Emotion and Social Cognition, Sensation and Perception, Small Business Development, and Judaism.
Both Emotion and Social Cognition and Sensation and Perception will contribute to the progression of my degree, as they will act as credits for social and cognitive psychology at the 300 level. These psychology courses will provide me with a more in-depth understanding of both social and cognitive psychology that is not offered at Queens. As well, I have also obtained permission from Dr. Norris regarding these courses, to ensure that they fit properly into my degree plan.
After meeting with my academic advisor, I now know that I have one additional business-related credit that can act as an elective in my degree plan. Small Business Development aligns perfectly with both my personal interests and future career plans. This course is unique to Vrije University as it provides further insight into the inner workings of small businesses, something that no course at Queen’s delves into.
Finally, Judaism falls under the Department of Sociology and will act as an elective toward my degree. This course will help me reconnect with my Jewish roots as I have not had the opportunity to do this thus far in my academic career. Being able to learn more about what Judaism means will help me learn more about my history and how I view Judaism in the future. While there are Jewish-related courses at Queen’s none offer a general overview of Judaism.
To conclude, two of the courses I plan to enroll in will count toward my degree plan in Psychology and the other two courses will act as electives. All these courses are unique to this university and will further my academic knowledge while helping me discover my future career path.
Also, while this constitutes a reduced course load, I have discussed this topic with my academic advisor and it does not seem to be an issue, as I am in good academic standing regarding my required courses and all other supplementary courses may be taken later in my degree plan (such as in the summer term or in fourth year).
