Programs
Students who want to take engineering and computer science classes as part of their study abroad experience should pay particular attention to the list below. These are UR-affiliated study abroad programs that specifically offer engineering and science classes to study abroad students. "Course equivalents" indicate where Hajim School students have previously taken courses that were credited as being equivalent to the Rochester courses listed. (This list is not all-inclusive and is updated regularly.)
For the most current list of courses that Hajim School students can take overseas and receive UR course equivalency credit, download these PDF documents for classes sorted by major and by country. If you would like to sort through an excel list of all the courses previously taken overseas by Hajim School students, click here.

- One of the goals of the Hajim School is for more of its undergraduates to be involved in three key experiences outside of the classroom: research, internships and global experience. Emily Grey of biomedical engineering accomplished all three.
University of New South Wales
- Erica Hange of biomedical engineering completed three classes to satisfy requirements for her BME major, and one to satisfy a requirement for her Psychology minor – and also enjoyed snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef, ziplining through the Daintree Rainforest and bungy jumping off a 50-meter-high platform.
- Michael Kaplan of mechanical engineering had an equally productive semester and “gained a profound interest in exploring the world and meeting new people. Throughout my schooling at Rochester, I had met many people from throughout the world, but nothing compares to actually traveling to a different country and meeting the locals there.”
