Education Abroad Options
The Chemical Engineering (CHE) Department strongly encourages students to take advantage of education abroad opportunities at South Dakota Mines. The department works closely with students to determine what will be the best option for each student.
CHE offers instructor-led international programs at the beginning of the students' academic career and at the culmination of the degree. Semester-long programs that have been approved for credit are listed below. Many additional programs are carefully reviewed for applicable credit.
