Study Abroad Guidelines

The Premedical Committee at Boston College feels that study abroad can be a very positive and enriching experience for selected undergraduates. There are however, several factors that should be taken into consideration before making the final decision of whether or not to spend time abroad. 

Some of the factors to consider include:

• Deciding to study abroad
• Who should go?
• How long should I study abroad and when?
• Types of Study abroad programs
• Completing prehealth courses
• When to apply to graduate school?
• Impact on application
• Should I take the MCAT while abroad?
• How does credit(s) transfer?
• Studying abroad – what’s next?
