Science with salsa

Foreign immersion is an unusual opportunity for engineering students. In most universities, engineering class requirements cannot be fulfilled in international programs. Those who are adamant about a semester or a year abroad do it by extending their undergraduate time, taking classes for an extra semester or a summer.

Boston University’s approach is different. All classes in the programs offered in Guadalajara, Dresden, and Tel Aviv fulfill the engineering core requirements, so students don’t fall behind academically. Plus, it opens up a whole new world of cultural education, as well as career possibilities down the road.

See how four BU students spent their time last year studying science in Guadalajara, Mexico.
