COGNITIVE AND BEHAVIORAL NEUROSCIENCE
Studying Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience (CBN) abroad will help majors advance their studies, assist in building academic and professional networks in an international setting, and develop cultural literacy by travelling outside their comfort zone and expanding personal experiences.
Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience (CBN) majors must begin the study abroad advising process as early as possible to ensure that study abroad fits into the four-year curriculum. A student who targets a future semester for study abroad by the end of their first year and discusses that plan with their academic advisor is more likely to do a semester abroad that does not complicate filling the requirements for the major.
Students should speak with their CBN advisor as early as possible to discuss interest in study abroad. CBN advisors will help to identify which semester or summer would be best for an experience abroad and assist in planning to account for prerequisites and course sequencing.
Specific things to consider:
- Planning ahead is essential for students thinking of going abroad during junior year
- CBN 4000 is only offered fall semester and should be taken senior year
- CBN 4100 is taken junior spring or senior spring semester
Search the OEA Course Approval History database to select from courses that have already been pre-approved for liberal education requirements and a growing list of technical courses.
The Course Approval History database is not exhaustive and students can work with an OEA advisor to submit additional courses for review.
Don't forget - CLAS has a list of policies and limitations specifically focused on study abroad. Make sure you're aware of these as you plan your overseas experience.
Due to sequencing, students should work with their academic advisor to determine the best time to study abroad.
Study abroad opportunities are not limited to formal instruction. Consider taking advantage of the unique research, internship, and fieldwork opportunities available through your study abroad program.

It is important to plan ahead as it is not uncommon for scholarship deadlines to occur much earlier than ÄÌÌÇÖ±²¥ or program application deadlines.
There are many scholarships available for students through ÄÌÌÇÖ±²¥ University, our partner programs and other external sources, like the US Government. The OEA can help students with the scholarship search and application process. If a scholarship is found outside of the OEA scholarship page, students should have it reviewed by the OEA to determine if it is a viable option.
