Academic Plan
My academic goal is to complete my degree on time while also gaining the unique experience of participating in an exchange program in Europe. I am currently enrolled in my desired degree plan in Philosophy and have reviewed my academic advisement report in Solus to confirm my remaining requirements. To stay on track, I am requesting to add a fifth course to my semester abroad. I will be taking philosophy courses that directly fulfill my program requirements so that I can return from exchange fully prepared to complete my fourth year without delay. In terms of workload, I plan to be a full-time student at the school I will be attending abroad. I understand that a full course load requires approximately 15-20 hours of class time and additional hours of independent work each week. I have successfully managed to do this in my past semesters at Queens, so I am confident I can do it while abroad. Adding a fifth course ensures I can focus on exploring new subjects abroad while knowing I have completed the necessary credits to graduate on time at Queens. To support my success, I will make proactive use of my campus resources, I will attend my classes, show up to Professor and TA office hours if I have questions, and talk to someone on academic services if that is available to me abroad. I will also check in with my academic advisor to confirm I remain aligned with Philosophy plan requirements. By staying organized and prioritizing my coursework, I will ensure I can meet my academic goals while preparing for exchange.
