Pathways to Study Abroad in Chemistry

Many exciting opportunities are available for study abroad.

Arcadia University’s College of Global Studies has special arrangements with universities in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Spain, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. Credits for courses taken at these universities transfer to Arcadia to fulfill Undergraduate Curriculum requirements. Visit the University’s website for more information. Arcadia has more than 122 programs around the world.

Since it is important that students plan ahead for study abroad, they should consult with their advisers as soon as possible and make their intentions known to the Department Chair and the Associate Dean of International Affairs.

Pathways to Study Abroad

Interdisciplinary majors are encouraged to spend a semester or year studying overseas. Exciting opportunities are available through the University’s Center for Education Abroad and are relatively easy to arrange. With prior approval, courses taken at foreign universities can be transferred to Arcadia to fulfill Undergraduate Curriculum, including major, requirements. A list of interdisciplinary courses that transfer is available from the Chair of the Department.

Generally, the sophomore and junior years are the most convenient time for Arcadia students to study abroad, although the second semester of the first year and the first semester of the senior year also are possibilities.

Arcadia University has special arrangements with universities or runs its own programs in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, Australia, France, India, Greece, Ireland, France, Germany, New Zealand, Spain, South Africa and Tanzania.
