Question Posted Wednesday February 10 2010, 6:12 pm
I am really interested in studying abroad but have no idea where I would want to go. I know places that would be good for business or architecture, but what about math? (I am a math major.)
* Math 164 Scientific Computing (usually ordered in spring)
* Math 165 Numerical Analysis (usually fall)
* Math 167 Theory of Computation (usually fall)
* Math 168 Algorithms (both semesters)
+ You must take two semesters of Math Forum, including at least one semester of Math 198 (one credit). The other semester can be either Math 198 or Math 199 (colloquium option, zero credit).
For this Fall study abroad option, we recommend taking Math 55 (Discrete Mathematics) in the spring of your first year, so you can take Math 171 (Abstract Algebra) in the fall of your sophomore year. Math 180 (Applied Analysis) and one semester of Math Forum Math 198 or 199) are delayed till the fall of your senior year.
Different paths are possible, for instance, if you take Math 55 in the fall of sophomore year. Consult your advisor.
Important: Consult your advisor, well before you leave, about the mathematics courses you will take abroad. In some cases, the department will accept courses taken abroad in place of HMC courses required for the math major; these must be approved in advance by the department.

So look into colleges near you first. [ THE-RACK's advice column | Ask THE-RACK A Question ]

So lets say you're from the US, and you want to study abroad for architecture in... london. Their homes are much different then the ones in the US. You have to think about what kind of architecture, homes, buildings, even parks.
Business it also depends, be a little bit more clear. my sisters boyfriend came from england to the US to study abroad and he majored in psychology and he loved it! [ Lauraaxhelps's advice column | Ask Lauraaxhelps A Question ]
