生物学专业的出国留学

生物学 majors should plan to go abroad during the fall or spring semester of their junior year. Because of the year-long senior research requirement, going abroad in fall of senior year necessitates choosing a senior research project that can be conducted in two successive spring semesters and requires starting that project during junior year.

For students with a strong interest in molecular biology, it is easier to go abroad junior spring rather than junior fall. Molecular biology (Bio 113 + lab) and organic chemistry are only offered fall semester, and waiting until senior fall to take these courses will make it difficult for you to do senior research in any area of molecular biology.

出国留学 for Joint 化学 and 生物学专业s

Joint chemistry and biology majors should plan to go abroad during 春天 junior year. Because many of the major requirements are fall semester courses (Chem 105/111, 化学103/109, 生物111/113和生物/化学189), the only feasible way to go abroad during a fall semester is to arrange in advance to substitute courses taken abroad for one or more of these required courses. Going abroad in fall of senior year also necessitates choosing a senior research project that can be conducted in two successive spring semesters and requires starting that project during the junior year.
