Study Abroad and Study-in-America Courses
The Biology Department offers a wide variety of Study Abroad and Study-in-America courses.
Study Abroad and Study-in-America courses allow students to engage in and experience an educational setting uniquely different from being in a classroom. Along with their instructor, students travel to far-off places, either internationally or here in the USA, and get course credit!
Most SA and SIA courses occur in the summer and last between 4 and 7 weeks. The majority of this time is spent off-campus at the course destination.
Note that being enrolled in an SA or SIA course is different from being an exchange student. The latter typically involves an entire semester or year spent in another country and enrolled in a university in that country.
