AMCAS Course Work Question

Hey everyone,

I have a couple AMCAS "course work" questions.

1. I did a study abroad program that was run by my university. We studied at a local college, but the course work that we took was designed by the head of the program from my college and the professors were hired independently by my college. My transcript lists a course, "Program in South Asia" as a no credit course. The AMCAS study abroad tutorial doesn't really help me fill this out. Any suggestions for how I should fill this out on the application? Should I create a second school and say "My college--study abroad program" or just put it all in the same school?

2. How important is it to be exact to the letter when entering in course work? For example, my transcript lists an anatomy and physiology course as "A&P." Is entering that as "Anatomy and Physiology" the kind of thing that would cause a processing delay?

Thanks for any input 🙂

1. Definitely warrants a call to AMCAS, they should be able to help you specifically for your situation.

2. I'm not really sure. I went with the exact course title and didn't keep the abbreviations my transcripts used, but n=1.

1. Where does the actual credit for the study abroad courses show up? It shows up as a no-credit course on your home university's transcript, so where does it show that you took courses abroad?

2. Enter the names exactly as they appear on the transcript.
