• The Premedical Program recommends that students study abroad during their junior or senior year or during the summer.  
   
• Students should study abroad for no more than ONE semester. 
   
• If you are interested in study abroad, please let the premed programs coordinator know as soon as possible so you can set up a schedule of classes that completes all the premedical requirements and includes your study abroad experience.  
   
• It is recommended that students plan with their academic advisor to complete AU Core requirements on campus before or after studying abroad.

• The core requirements for medical, dental, veterinary and pharmacy schools should NOT be taken abroad.  Instead premedical students can take health courses abroad, upper level biology, chemistry, and physics courses, as well as courses related to public and global health.  
   
• Student may also find more courses available to them abroad in their primary major.  Please also see the major advising sheets for these subjects when considering your study abroad location.
