Study abroad (www.unh.edu/cie) is available through UNH programs or programs offered by other institutions/agencies and approved by UNH. Pre-med students considering a study abroad program, ideally, should begin their planning as early as the first year of college. To avoid possible problems and questions of course ambiguity, it is a good idea to complete your premedical courses in the US. Most medical schools prefer that their required science courses, when taken abroad, be strictly comparable to those taught in the US. You will also need to plan for the timing of the MCAT and your application to medical schools.  UNH students begin the application process to medical school two years before they plan to matriculate. Many students apply during their junior year, while others apply during their senior year. This later time may be particularly suitable for students who are not on campus in their junior year, who want to improve their academic or experiential credentials, or who believe that a year between UNH and medical school will benefit their personal and professional goals.
