Study Abroad Opportunities for ChBE Undergraduates

Recognizing the nature of the global economy, and the need for international experience, the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering will be informing students of potential study abroad activities for chemical and biomolecular engineering majors at the University of Maryland. These will be in addition to those offered by the University, and will be unique in that they allow the student to take core courses in chemical and biomolecular engineering while abroad.  For more information, please contact Professor Choi, Associate Chair for Undergraduate Studies (choi@eng.umd.edu) or Professor Schork, Department Chair (fjschork@umd.edu).
