Students studying abroad during fall or spring semesters are exempt
from Cultural Events-credit requirements for each semester spent abroad.
A cultural-events calendar is available on the college’s Web site at
the beginning of each semester.
Berry College Courses
Berry College Courses are those extending beyond the disciplinary
boundaries of any one department and representing educational
opportunities made available to students by the college as a whole. In
this category are educational-growth offerings and thematic courses.
BCC courses may not be used in satisfaction of general-education
requirements, other than electives. Only with the written permission of
the appropriate school dean may BCC courses be used in the major or the
minor.
The dean of academic services is the director of Berry College Courses,
and further information about these offerings may be secured from that
office.
