Keep in mind:

• The Department recommends going abroad during the junior year or first semester senior year.

Keep in mind:

• Biology majors can count up to 6 credit hours of preapproved courses taken abroad toward their upper-level major course requirements. 
   
• Courses under consideration must be specific for science majors at the abroad institution and have instructors with a PhD in Biology or a related field.
   
• If you are in the AU premedical program, you can go abroad! Many programs offer courses that can provide you with topical experience in biological sciences and the health fields.
