Study Tour Policies
Queens’ policy is that students in the traditional undergraduate program are not normally eligible
to participate in a JBIP Study Tour until the end of their junior year; the only exception is for
students who participate in the JBIP study abroad programs or winter study tours during their
junior year or students who participate at their own expense.
Students minimally eligible to apply for JBIP programs are current sophomores (in their
fourth semester of college) who will be at least second-semester juniors in the term after which
they will take part in their JBIP program and who, by that time, will have been full-time students
in the traditional undergraduate program for at least four semesters. Juniors who have been fulltime
students in the traditional undergraduate program at Queens for fewer than four semesters
may participate fully by paying a prorated supplement.
Others — part-time students, Hayworth College students and students who wish to have a
JBIP program before they are eligible to do so — may participate at their own expense and on
a space-available basis.
Study Tour Courses
Students must enroll in JBIP 210 (Study Tour Preparation Course – 2 credit hours) the semester
before their Study Tour and earn a grade of C- or better. The student who earns a grade
below a C- will not be eligible for the Study Tour.
Student s will be enrolled in JBIP 220 (Study Tour – 3 credit hours) by the Belk Program the
semester of the Study Tour.
THE UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM
Important JBIP Notes:
• All Study Tours are planned and arranged by the John Belk International Program Office and
led by Queens faculty.
• All Study Tours are offered contingent upon sufficient enrollment and have a limited number
of places.
• All other offerings — language immersion and study abroad programs and international internships
— are also arranged by the Belk Program Office.
• Please note that students should not assume that they will be able to travel independently at
the end of their Belk study tours.
