Major Specific Recommendations

Recommendation for Biology B.A.

Students majoring in a BA in Biology have more flexibility as there are more general electives built into the academic plan. Students are able to take courses that are relevant to their academic/career goals. For example, perhaps the education abroad goal is to have more field experience, therefore taking an internship or research course would count as a general elective as well as help the student gain hands-on experience in their field of study.

Suggested Terms Aboard
Since there is more flexibility, BA in Biology students are able to go abroad during their:

  • 2nd year
  • 3rd year
  • Summers

Suggested Courses To Take Abroad (subject to term and courses changes by program/university)

  • UCOR 2300, 2400, 2600, 3100, 3200
  • General Electives
  • Biology Major Electives
  • Science Electives

Recommendation for Biology B.S.

Since students majoring in a B.S. in Biology will have fewer general electives, finding a program that might have 1-2 biology major courses would be a simple way to stay on track
