Visit the Brandeis Approved Programs List to review a comprehensive list of approved programs that may offer acceptable Chemistry coursework. There you can filter options to search for unique program traits like internships or research. Please keep in mind that any course intended to be taken abroad for Chemistry credit must be pre-approved by the study abroad liaison prior to confirming their participation on the program.

Chemistry 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 Chemistry here.

Receiving Credit in Chemistry

Students wishing to receive credit in Chemistry 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.
