Off-Campus Study
Studying in another part of the world or country can be a valuable part of your academic journey, and an instrumental experience in your liberal arts education.
Some things to consider as a Neuroscience major as you plan your off-campus study experience:
- You are encouraged to study off campus any time that works best with your schedule. Please keep in mind that you must complete the neuroscience capstone sequence (NSCI 411/412) in one academic year. These classes are paired with one another and instructor-specific, and cannot be taken in different academic years. So, if you want to study off-campus in the fall of senior year, the capstone sequence would need to be taken during junior year.
- It is important to meet with your academic advisor regarding courses you plan on taking off-campus and how this fits within your academic plan, particularly credits counting toward your major (and provide appropriate course descriptions).
ɫɜBeing a neuroscience major is, for me, about the interdisciplinary nature of science and the way diverse perspectives come together to make a concrete whole. Studying abroad helped me see a wider array of viewpoints, in part because I was taking a more diverse set of courses not offered at Hope, and also because I was experiencing diverse cultural viewpoints.ɫɝ
