Academics
Other Academic Conditions
The following programs have many prerequisites and will require special permission: education, business, engineering, computer science, communication sciences and disorders. Some courses like science, art and others may require an additional lab or materials fee. Some courses may be restricted to non-degree seeking, exchange students. Be sure to read the pre-requisites or ask questions of the ISEP advisor while selecting courses. For example, independent study is not available to ISEP Exchange students. PFW recommends 200-300 level courses for ISEP Exchange students. Some programs or classes may require an advanced placement in English or math to be eligible to take certain classes. Engineering and chemistry require calculus-level placement or prerequisite courses. The ISEP Coordinator will help students navigate those requirements, placement tests, and will work with each department in the university to assist in course registration before and after arrival.
Because of the nature of the degree, nursing, education, dentistry and some music classes are closed to exchange students.
PFW is willing to accept Duolingo English test as an alternative to other English assessments such as TOEFL and IELTS.
