Study abroad offers many valuable opportunities and all students are encouraged to consider this option. However, many courses in the neuroscience sequence have prerequisites that are only offered once a year. Summer abroad programs avoid any possible scheduling conflicts.
Students wishing to take a semester abroad should take NEUR 3400: Introduction to Neuroscience 1 in the spring of their sophomore year and travel abroad spring semester junior year. Spring semester is preferred for the neuroscience sequence; fall semester may be recommended by pre-professional health office. If you travel in fall of junior year, then you will take NEUR 3500: Introduction to Neuroscience 2 in fall of senior year.
It is possible to study abroad fall semester sophomore year as BIOL 3020 is now available in Madrid.
Plan early and work with your Academic Advisor and Faculty Mentor to find the best way to fit study aboard into your education plan.
