Short-term summer programs are a great way to study abroad and broaden your skills and experience, enhancing intercultural learning and global perspectives!
An international summer program is an amazing way to gain experience and travel without having to adjust your academic schedule! Many of our partner institutions offer short-term summer programs in language & culture, business and more during summer semesters.
The length of the programs can be anywhere from two to six weeks, and generally take place between May - August. The program fees typically cover accommodation, some meals and cultural activities (travel arrangements are the responsibility of the student).
