Credits earned overseas, including those from Boston University programs, can be applied toward concentration, distribution, or elective requirements. However, students should begin planning early so that they can acquire language proficiency as necessary and can build study abroad into their academic plans. To participate in non-Boston University study abroad programs, students must meet the admission requirements of the overseas program to which they are applying and must apply for credit transfer through the Division of International Programs. Study Abroad Resource Center Students interested in study abroad options offered by Boston University and other institutions should visit the Study Abroad Resource Center, located on the fifth floor of 232 Bay State Road. Students can examine brochures from other institutions and guidelines on study abroad published by the Division of International Programs.
Students can also consult foreign university catalogs if they are interested in direct enrollment.
In addition, the Study Abroad Resource Center houses reference guides. Information about study abroad can also be found in the reference area of the Mugar Memorial Library. However, students should always consult a study abroad advisor before planning to go abroad.
