Academic Program
The program begins with an orientation in Dublin. Trinity College Dublin assigns credits based on the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS), where courses weigh 5 ECTS or 10 ECTS. A full semester course load at Trinity College is typically 30 ECTS (15 U.S. semester credits; 3.75 Pomona credits).
 
Trinity College accepts students by department. Students may select one to three departments and indicate which courses they wish to take. Students must select departments in which they have completed coursework at Pomona. 
 
The English and Political Science departments may have limited spaces, and students must be declared majors in these subjects to enroll in these courses at TCD. 

Chemistry courses are only available to spring and academic year students, and are not available for fall semester students.
 
Computer Science and Engineering courses are only available to spring semester or academic year students, due to the examination schedule.

Additional course and subject restrictions are listed in the IFSA brochure for the program.
 
Students are required to take at least one, preferably two, upper-level (Sophister) courses. Students should bear in mind that most Sophister-level courses have prerequisites and admission to particular courses is contingent on approval by the relevant Trinity College department, based on the applicant’s background and experience.
 
During the fall program, Pomona students are required to enroll in the Trinity Early Start Program. This three-week interdisciplinary course focuses on Irish Studies and earns 5 ECTS (0.625 Pomona credits). Students enroll in three to five Trinity College courses to earn the remaining 25 ECTS (3.125 Pomona credits). 

Students are required to take at least one course with significant Irish content. (The Early Start program counts towards this requirement for the fall semester).

Living Arrangements
Students live off campus in student apartments with a mix of double and single bedrooms plus shared living space and kitchen. Housing is off campus, about a 15-minute walk away. Apartments accommodate six to eight students. Each student has a single bedroom with an attached, private bathroom. All housing in Dublin is self-catered, with shared kitchens for students to prepare meals, and Pomona will provide a meal allowance. Students can also purchase meals on campus. Pomona College will cover the standard housing fees, and students who opt for housing with supplemental fees will be billed directly by IFSA for any supplemental housing fees. 

Number of Students
IFSA enrolls approximately 20 students, selected from a national pool. University enrollment is approximately 20,000 students.
