Plan Your Study Abroad Program
Studying abroad requires careful planning to ensure that you receive all the credits you need by your anticipated graduation date. For example, you may have to take prerequisite courses or reorder some courses to free up classes to be taken abroad. You may need to consider how to finance your experience abroad. We are here to help you get to your destination and goal. Make an appointment with the College of Science Global Engagement team at the beginning of your planning process, and we’ll assist you with choosing a program, filling out applications and preparing for your time abroad.
- Step 1: Explore program options using the Pam Hendrix Center for Education Abroad approved programs list and complete a Study Abroad Advising Form.
- Step 2: Schedule an appointment with the Science Global Engagement team via CU Navigate by selecting “Study Abroad” as your care unit. You can also email the College of Science Assistant Director of Global Engagement, Caleb McGill, at jmcgil2@clemson.edu to set up a meeting and discuss the study abroad process, program options, potential coursework, how credit transfer works and anything else you'd like to ask about study abroad.
- Step 3: Once you have narrowed down your program options and know potential coursework you can take at each program, meet with your academic advisor to confirm that your desired coursework fits into your degree plan and meets necessary requirements.
- Step 4: Once you’ve found the ideal program, it’s time to apply and ensure your courses have been approved for credit transfer. Reach out to the Science Global Engagement team as needed for assistance with this process.
