For many engineering and pre-med students, spending a semester abroad would seem to be a hindrance in completing a demanding major. But BU International Programs offers several science-oriented options that sync up nicely with the requirements of an engineering or pre-med degree. A good example is Dresden, Germany, which offers two great programs.
In the fall, the Dresden Program concentrates on the sciences, offering science majors and pre-med students the opportunity to study abroad, experience German culture, embarrass themselves trying to speak the native language, and still stay on track with their many course requirements, whether it’s cell biology, statistics, or an organic chemistry lab. During the spring semester, the program turns to engineering, giving BU’s busy engineering undergrads a chance to take courses ranging from electric circuit theory to biotechnology.
