This summer, the Center for Global Education will sponsor more than a dozen study abroad programs. The summer session programs cover a wide variety of subjects in such diverse countries as China, South Africa, Jordan and France. Ranging in length from two weeks to three months, these programs are an excellent opportunity for students of all majors to gain international experience. Kelly Dunne, a New Century College instructor, agrees.
Study abroad is part of becoming an educated person.
Ireland in particular is a great place to study, because it's a beautiful country and there's no language barrier. The people are very open and friendly to Americans. The program at University College County Cork is academically challenging, and you have the opportunity to see what you're learning about in the classroom first-hand. Through cultural immersion, students gain new ways of looking at the world. Whether a student is majoring in English literature or computer science, there are programs available this summer that can help students gain much-needed international experience.
