Explore these featured programs, offering courses that can help chemistry majors meet their requirements while experiencing the world! Note that Chemistry students are not limited to these programs or locations. The Padnos International Center is happy to help students find additional programs that meet thier degree requirements.
Study Abroad participants can use their experiences to fufill issues, global perspectives, gen-eds, and electives as well as specific major requirements.

• Chemistry students considering Study Abroad should first schedule a meeting with their academic adviser to discuss options as early as possible. Due to the structured nature of science curricula and the fact that other countries often arrange chemistry content differently, finding appropriate equivalent courses requires consultation with your advisers and planning out your schedule a year or more in advance is recommended.
• Students may take courses to satisfy requirements in their Chemistry Major, Minor, or General Education. Students may also apply for research credits while abroad.
• The Chemistry department strongly recommends that juniors explore the possibility of summer research/internship programs abroad. Projects with dual supervision from a foreign adviser and a GVSU chemistry faculty are strongly encouraged.
• If interested in research, students should first discuss this opportunity with their chemistry adviser; they may enroll at GVSU in a research course such as CHM 399 or CHM 499, supervised by GVSU faculty, and earn credit for it while abroad.
• Consider fulfilling your Issues General Education requirement abroad.
• No restrictions have been identified by the Chemistry department.
• Courses will be reviewed on a case by case basis through the course approval process.
