<p>I am an undergrad freshman (International student studying in the US)
Majoring in Biochemistry
I wanted to know about summer programs (or winter maybe) related to the fields of chemistry, biology, pre med, or biostasticis
Programs which allow transferring credits back to my college would be useful (I am planning to graduate early)
Also, what do they look for when they select students for these programs?
Thanks in advance :D</p>
<p>The first thing you need to do is check with your university and see what the exact rules are regarding taking classes elsewhere and how to transfer credit. Some schools have a lot of restrictions, requiring anything in your major to be taken at the university, for example. You might be able to take some of your gen ed’s elsewhere over summer break. I’d really start with your university and then look for a school.</p>
<p>You also should find out whether or not you can study elsewhere as an international student. Changing colleges/universities even for one term might require a new I-9.</p>
<p>I asked the officials and they said:
"Students who take part of their coursework at another accredited college or university with the intent of transferring credit to Earlham should obtain approval in advance from the Registrar and from the department(s) concerned. A maximum of 16 credits may be transferred. </p>
<p>Note: Grades do not transfer."</p>
