USYD Sydney Courses
Enroll in 1 CEA CAPA course (3 US credits) + 3 USYD courses (typically translate to 4 US credits) for a total of 15 US semester credits. The CEA CAPA course will run concurrently with USYD courses, throughout the whole semester. A complete list of courses is available on the USYD Online Handbook:
This course is designed to give direct-enroll students a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary understanding of the national, regional, and local context in which they are studying. By exploring key issues and debates that are shaping contemporary Australia—and situating them historically—students gain nuanced awareness of the social, cultural, political, and economic currents surrounding them. In so doing, this curricular component supports and enhances students’ direct-enroll coursework and opens the possibility of more intentional exploration and engagement with Australia during their time abroad.
