Study Abroad Planning Guides

Plan Version 1

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 biological engineering curriculum. It is not the only way to include a semester abroad while meeting the major requirements, but it is a plan that can 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.

 It includes some assumptions:

• The student accepts no advanced placement credit. Other variations may be possible depending on AP credit, summer classes, and other interests.
• The student is going to a country/program where it is customary to take 4 classes.
• The student is going abroad for one semester. Those interested in a year abroad should consult with an advisor about the Cornell-Cantabria program.

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

The undergraduate Biomedical Engineering program was approved by New York state during the summer of 2015. Due to the ongoing development of the new curriculum, students planning to study Biomedical Engineering should not plan to study abroad during a fall/spring term. Summer study abroad opportunities may be considered with the assistance of CU Abroad, or students may want to explore summer research opportunities abroad.

The Off-Campus Opportunities Fund (OCOF) is a common application for students seeking financial support for off-campus experiences. Depending on applicant and program eligibility criteria, students may be eligible for funding for a summer experience.
