By and large, STEM fields, have very restrictive,highly sequenced and vertical curriculums, creating an additional barrier that prevents theirmajors from partaking of the transformative experiences gained from studying abroad. This stillcontinues today especially in engineering. Students are fearful of not being able to findequivalent courses which may result in study abroad credits not transferring back to homeinstitution, falling out of sequence, getting behind, and subsequent delayed graduation andincreased educational cost.
