Well it depends on the Study Abroad part but I know Mason itself has standards for GenED Credits and along with your degree credits but studying abroad gets some course credits in the end though. GenEd credits is the top thing you should get out of the way because my sister had to take an extra quarter at Washington for GenED credits.
