Yes, provided that you meet Brandeis's minimum residency of 2 years. In addition, you cannot have more than 16 transfer credits when you apply to study abroad. With good planning and the right program overseas, many pre-med and natural science concentrators find a way to study abroad for at least a semester and many times for the full year. Brandeis University requires that all students who wish to study abroad be in good academic standing. In addition to English-speaking countries such as Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa and the United Kingdom, please note that our approved list includes many programs where the language of instruction is English even if English is not the official state language.
Some students combine a summer program abroad with a semester program in their host country.
We encourage you to meet with a study abroad staff member to discuss this option. No, but at least one of your classes must always be a for-credit class taught in the host country's language. Failure to complete this requirement will result in loss of all credit for the year or semester abroad. In general, the academic departments will count up to two classes per semester towards a concentration. Each department is different, however.
