These programs are recommended based on the academic quality of the host institution’s course offerings in your major. In addition to the following programs students can also explore other options through AU Abroad.

The Public Health program recommends that students study abroad during the second semester of their sophomore year, their junior year, or the first semester of senior year.

If you are interested in studying abroad, please let the Public Health programs director know as soon as possible so you can set up your schedule of classes that completes all the public health requirements and includes your study abroad experience.
