Study Abroad

Although there are no particular prerequisites needed in order to qualify for study abroad, the usual course prerequisites still apply. There is no limit to how many courses taken abroad will be allowed for major credit. If the courses are judged equivalent and if the proposed courses constitute a reasonable selection, major or elective credit will be given. N.B.: MD099 Strategy and Policy is the integrative capstone course to the CSOM core and should be taken at Boston College during senior year.

All students wishing to study abroad must first meet with Richard Keeley, Associate Dean, and then Sam Graves, Department Chairman, for course approvals. All course approvals should be sought in person, with all supporting documentation (course description, syllabus, etc.) in hand.
