Yes, IMAS students can normally take up to 12 credits hours of graduate-level courses taught in English from other departments. Classes from the IDAS and IMES programs will be considered in-program, therefore they do not count as outside courses.
If an IMAS student’s research requires it, they may take up to 12 credits hours of graduate courses not taught in English. Applications for these courses should be submitted one week prior to the add/drop course period and be approved by the IMAS Director.
Any further special coursework requested by the student requires prior approval by the IMAS program committee.
