Study Abroad - An International Experience
An International Experience
An experience in a foreign country gives a student a chance to explore and appreciate the diverse variety of
cultures and environments in the world. Some programs abroad will provide an opportunity for students to take
chemistry and biochemistry courses; others will not. Even if a program provides no science courses, student can be
assured that both chemistry and biochemistry degrees are compatible with a semester abroad. Students making regular
progress toward a degree can enjoy the benefits of an international experience and still graduate within four
years.
Select one of the following major areas of study:
B.S. with a Major in Chemistry
Those seeking a (non-ACS accredited) BS with a major in chemistry could take all of the required chemistry
courses during three years here and have complete freedom as to which courses they might take during an
international experience. For example, the schedule below shows how the junior year could be left open for study
abroad. All of the chemistry and supporting courses fit into the freshman, sophomore, and senior years.
