Biology Pre-Reviewed Courses

View pre-reviewed course list here

The Biology department has established a list of courses abroad that have been pre-reviewed for Biology credit. Please note: if a program or course you are interested in is not listed here, it may just mean that it hasn't been requested previously. Speak to the Study Abroad Faculty Liaison about whether or not it may fulfill a Biology requirement.

Biology Study Abroad Liaison

To assist students with their academic choices abroad and to help answer any questions about receiving major/minor credit while abroad, each academic department and program has assigned a faculty member to serve as the Study Abroad Liaison. As every department has different policies regarding credit from abroad, the Study Abroad Liaison can assist you with guidance on major/minor credit. Find the Study Abroad Liaison for Biology here.

Receiving Credit in Biology

Students wishing to receive credit in Biology for coursework done off-campus during the academic year should discuss these plans with the Study Abroad Liaison. All students as part of their application process for either a summer or semester term abroad will be required to have a course proposal reviewed by the department if they wish to receive credit in that major/minor. For the semester, this is an initial conversation and students should continue to discuss plans with the department as they have more course information (syllabi, etc.). For the summer, courses are pre-approved. Upon return, semester students should complete the Petition to Request Substitution for a Requirement form for final and formal review.
