Your Host Institution Tools
- On the undergraduate program page, you’ll find a list of academic departments at Ewha. Keep in mind:
- Ewha provides a searchable database of English-taught courses and access to the full academic catalog (which includes Korean classes).
- Course listings may not be available until a few months prior to the start of the semester. You can, however, consult the current academic year’s offerings. While there could be some changes, many of the same courses are offered each year.
- The academic year in Korea begins in March which means 1st semester refers to the Spring semester, and 2nd the Fall semester.
-
Ewha stipulates that undergraduate students must register for a minimum of 9 semester credits and can register for a maximum of 18 semester credits per semester.
-
IMPORTANT: Course levels abroad do not necessarily correspond with course levels at OSU. If course level is important to your course selection, submit each course for pre-articulation using the transfer articulation reevaluation form as early as possible in your planning.
-
While there isn’t an easy way to determine a courses’ level at Ewha, in the course search, you can indicate the “Academic Year” of courses you are looking for (1, 2, 3, etc.).
- Restrictions may apply to courses in Art & Design, Music, ELTEC Engineering, Education, and the Scranton Honors Program.
- Courses in Nursing, Medicine, Pharmacy are not available.
-
You’ll register through an online portal (Eureka) in late August for fall semester and late February for spring semester. Specific dates and times for registration will be announced via Ewha’s communication channel and students are encouraged to register for courses as soon as the registration window opens.

Remember courses abroad count as OSU credits and grades count towards your OSU GPA.
To explore if Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U) grading could be an option for you, talk with your academic advisor. To request S/U grading for courses abroad, you'll need to secure approval from your academic advisor and submit the S/U request form in your OSU GO portal before 70% of the course is complete.

For official determinations on how education abroad courses will be transcribed at OSU, submit each course using the transfer articulation reevaluation form

No need to wait! We recommend submitting courses as early as possible in your planning - even while exploring programs!
-
Since course articulation can affect your degree progress and planning, it's important to work closely with your academic advisor to understand how your courses abroad will fit into your academic plan.
- Visit the OSU GO Education Abroad Course Articulation Database to view courses that previous OSU students have taken.
- The database is not a comprehensive list of all courses available and may list courses that are not offered during your program cycle. Check out the host institution tools below fo up to date course offerings.
- Previous articulations are a guide for how a course may appear on your OSU transcript. Given updates to course content, articulation standards, etc., how a course is articulated on your transcript may look different. If a course you plan to take abroad is essential for completion of degree requirements, submit the course information through the form above.
