Programs that combine courses arranged specially for study abroad students with courses in a foreign university . Students do part of their academic work with other American students and part with local students. Students need to know some of the language of the country, but this is a good choice if a student does not feel able to take all courses with foreign students in their own language. It is a good idea to take advantage of group trips sponsored by the program and get acquainted with the program director and staff, who can often be helpful in resolving problems. Its programs include liberal arts, international business, architecture and design, and marine environmental studies.
Most participants live with Danish families.
Danish language instruction is optional. DIS offers study tours in Germany, Sweden, Russia, Belgium, and a number of Eastern European countries. In most locations, students with sufficient knowledge of the language take courses directly in a foreign university. Located in the capital city of Stockholm, the program provides students with an opportunity to study, in English, how Sweden has addressed political, social, artistic, and economic issues relevant to all advanced societies. Topics are pursued in an interdisciplinary and critical tradition.
