Study Abroad and the Premedical Curriculum


INTERNATIONAL STUDY PROGRAMS FOR PREMEDS

With careful planning, study abroad can even fit into a packed premed schedule. If you are considering studying abroad and think it is impossible....think again. Many pre-professional and science majors manage to fit in a semester or even a year abroad and still apply to graduate school on time. Summer study programs are also a great way to brush up on your language skills and gain valuable cross cultural competence. The Office for International Study Programs offers a wide variety of programs to fit any schedule. Listed below are links to the Notre Dame study away programs and information about non-Notre Dame study abroad programs.

The College of Science compiled an excellent chart to assist you with selecting an overseas site that offers course work for your science major, however, the study abroad programs recommended for science majors are also applicable to ALPP majors
