Pathways to Study Abroad in Computer Science

Majors in the Computer Science and Mathematics Department are strongly encouraged to take full advantage of the study abroad opportunities that Arcadia University offers. In recent years, students have studied at universities in England, Ireland, Scotland, Australia, and Italy. All benefited greatly from their experiences.

Students who plan to study abroad should meet with their advisers as soon as possible to discuss their options. This is especially true given that several of the Department’s upper-level courses are taught on an alternating-year basis. Therefore, the best semesters to study abroad might differ from year to year. Several courses are part of  sequences, and students are advised to take those entire sequences at Arcadia.

Many majors elect not to take any math or computing courses during their semester abroad, instead choosing courses that fulfill other Undergraduate Curriculum requirements. These latter courses are more apt to help students to gain a rich knowledge and appreciation of the culture of the country in which they are studying.

Visit the University’s website for more information and for suggested course sequences. 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.
