Therefore, it is likely that this disparity indicates that science students face greater barriers to studying abroad than other students. Science concentrations tend to have a less flexible trajectory of study. Students face a strict sequence of classes, which forces them to plan their courses far in advance.

Additionally, science departments tend to be less willing to accept credit for study done abroad, compounding the fundamental problem of strict requirements...

Summer study abroad is particularly helpful for science concentrators, because it allows them to avoid the problem of interrupting a strict plan of study to engage in an international experience. However, the financial cost of going abroad during the summer, both in terms of actual cost incurred and in terms of income not earned, is often a serious burden, so the College could do more to make financial aid for summer...
