If you are interested in studying sciences in another country then Biology 4798, Scientific Roots in the UK and EU, is for you!  Students will be able to learn during the semester in Columbus about scientific breakthroughs that occurred in England and the EU, and then for spring break take a trip to visit the locations and landmarks associated with those discoveries.  Each student will have research projects including the Royal Society, HMS Endeavour, Sir Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, Kew Gardens, and Cambridge University.  There will be a final project where students will get to report and present their findings.

Locations visited over Spring break: London, Cambridge, Lyme Regis, Paris

This is a great opportunity to get started in study abroad, if that is in your plans for the future.  Any opportunity to study abroad is an opportunity to learn more and be enriched by other cultures.  You will get the opportunity to visit both London, England and for the first time Paris, France as well!

IF enough students enroll this course will be offered in the spring.

While in the past this course has focused on Biology, it has been modified to include both Chemistry and Physics.

Study Abroad Course: Scientific Roots in England

by at

Biology 4000, Scientific Roots in England, will be offered again this Spring 2016 if enough students enroll. This is a great opportunity to get started in study abroad, if that is in your plans.

The course is now more general than biology alone, and several topics in the history of chemistry and physics will be discussed.  The course culminates with  visits to London, Cambridge, and England’s “Jurassic Coast” to see important sites in the history of scientific discovery.   It should be interesting and useful for any “scientist,” and is also a blast!

An information session will be held later in the fall, but if you know you are interested, please contact Dr. John Cogan now at cogan.1@osu.edu or 614-292-4470.

The application deadline for this program is Oct 1, 2015. The application is available on the website of the Office of International Affairs (oia.osu.edu/study-abroad.html).
