Deadlines Approach for Education Abroad Summer Programs
LEXINGTON, Ky. (March 1, 2016) — University of Kentucky Education Abroad (UK EA) summer program application deadlines are approaching, with the majority of the applications closing March 1. Students can make the most of their summer break by earning credit abroad through UK-sponsored programs led by UK faculty members.
UK EA is offering many sponsored — or faculty-directed — programs in summer 2016. Faculty-led programs are unique because students will study alongside their peers from the university and earn UK credit directly without the need to fill out an academic approval form. These programs typically run for about four weeks and are a good option if students are lacking any UK core or major requirements.
There are few programs highlighted below, but students can find all of the faculty-led programs running this summer here.
- Intensive Intermediate German (Arts and Sciences)
- Conversational Chinese (Arts and Sciences)
- Italian Language, Arts and Culture (Arts and Sciences)
- Mix It Up in Germany: Gatton-Style (Business and Economics)
- Journalism In Context: World Media Systems in Dublin (Communication and Information)
- Leadership Lessons from Prague (Agriculture, Food and Environment)
- Tropical Agroecology & Sustainable Development in Indonesia (Agriculture, Food and Environment)
- Delft Scenarios: Design Studios in the Netherlands (Design)
- Architecture Studio in Berlin (Design)
- Health and Wellness in Spain (Education)
- Early Education in Guatemala (Education)
- Exploring Health and Care of Older People in Great Britain (Health Sciences)
- Health, Medicine and Society: A British Perspective (IHRC)
