I ve heard that its difficult for certain science students, such as biology majors who are pre-med, to study abroad. Is this right?
Wrong. The academic schedule of most Centre students allows them to study abroad during any term of their sophomore, junior, or senior year. It’s true that the sequential pattern of courses in a few science majors makes it easiest for those students to study abroad during a particular term. For example, biology majors who enter with math proficiency can easily study abroad in the spring of their sophomore year–or during a later term. The best time to study abroad for BMB majors who plan to take the MCAT or DAT exam is usually during the fall of their junior year. It’s easiest for Computer Science majors to study abroad during their sophomore spring term. The Study-Abroad Office in Carnegie has sample schedules for freshmen who plan to major in biology, BMB, chemistry, computer science, and mathematics, showing what long term generally works best for study-abroad. It’s important that students contemplating mathematics, computer science, education, and science majors talk with advisors
