º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½

With several off-campus study programs designed specifically for those in the sciences, biology students at º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ are free to add real-world experience to their resumes while staying on track academically.

 

Semester-long Study Groups

All study groups are led by a º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ faculty member. They are specially designed to maximize students’ experiences when studying abroad, while maintaining high academic standards. All credits earned while studying with a º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ off-campus study group count toward graduation and major requirements.

The following three highlighted programs are specifically designed for students in the sciences:

Extended Studies

Studying off campus doesn’t have to be a full-semester affair. Some courses in the biology department are designated as extended studies. For two to three weeks after the conclusion of the regular semester, students and faculty in these courses travel to apply their classroom learning in the field.
