About Summer Study Abroad

Kenneth Hong '19 spent his summer in Beijing, China doing an intensive Chinese language program.

Studying abroad during the summer can be an excellent academic opportunity. A summer program is also an alternative for those who are not able to study abroad during the academic year or who wish to supplement a semester or year abroad.

There are many ways to spend your summer—why not spend it in another country accomplishing academic and professional goals? You can:

• Pursue an academic internship
• Complete major/minor requirements
• Fulfill general university or Core requirements
• Improve world language skills and/or fulfill global engagement requirements in that culture
• Engage with another culture

Come to a study abroad event or meet with an advisor to learn more about what other students have done in previous summers.
