Study Abroad Planning Guides

Biological Engineering Planning Guide

This plan is offered as a general guide of how one might plan a course sequence if the goal is to incorporate a semester of study abroad into the curriculum. It is not the only way to include a semester abroad while meeting degree requirements, but it is a plan that may work for many students. Students should use this as a starting point for planning, discuss options with their advisors, and make use of other advising resources to devise an individual plan. Students should also consult with their major department regarding how any major curriculum changes might impact this plan.

*Consult the Engineering Undergraduate Handbook and the BE website for additional guidance and requirements.

**Those interested in a year abroad should consult with Engineering Advising about the University of Cantabria Exchange Program.

% Concentration Courses are offered and can be taken in either the Fall or Spring semesters. In this path, the 8th semester must be the BME 3×10 required concentration course, in which case the 5th semester course must be met by alternative prerequisites.

$ Only one of these courses are required for a concentration, which in the case of CHEM 1570 can be waived by the completion of Pre-medicine organic chemistry (CHEM 3570).

* The Experiential Learning Seminar is one credit spread across two semesters.

** BME 3020 is a prerequisite for the MCSE concentration lab (BME 4190). Therefore, those interested in the MCSE concentration or those in the BMDD concentration planning to take BME 4190 would need to take BME 3020 in Spring of sophomore year or should consider a summer abroad experience instead.

**CHEME students hoping to study abroad should consider summer study or the University of Cantabria during the spring of Junior year. Otherwise, they will need to find an equivalent of CHEME 3130 and 3240 during the Fall of Junior year or CHEME 3720, 3900, and 3320 during the Spring of Junior year at another study abroad program to stay on track with the major.
