Rutgers offers a number of junior-year abroad programs and several summer study abroad programs. Although the majority of the options have been designed for students with majors or interests in the liberal arts, agreements related directly to majors at the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences have been established with the University of Reading in England and Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, Israel.

The Technion program is primarily a junior-year program of study in agricultural engineering. However, on a case-by-case basis, opportunities may be developed for students in other disciplines. With advance planning, a reduced course load coupled with a cooperative education placement at Technion may be arranged.

The University of Reading junior-year study program includes options in the sciences and in agriculture and food. Among these are the biological sciences, microbiology, agricultural botany, agricultural economics, soil science, and physiology and biochemistry.

Students interested in the Technion, University of Reading, or other study abroad options may obtain additional information through the Study Abroad Office, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, 102 College Avenue, New Brunswick, NJ 08901-8543; or at the website http://studyabroad.rutgers.edu.  In order to assure optimum planning toward fulfilling major and degree requirements, it is strongly recommended that students contemplating study abroad consult with their faculty adviser, preferably in the fall semester of the sophomore year.
