Classes in St. Petersburg are taught at the University of St. Petersburg by faculty members of the University. Students are housed either in an apartment hotel or with families. The program will offer students the opportunity to learn archaeological excavation methods while digging a prehistoric site, to learn paleontological survey techniques while looking for prehistoric human fossils, and to see original human fossils. The program is notably rich in its field trips, and includes visits to Barcelona, Cordoba, Granada, Segovia, and Toledo. Four semesters of college-level Spanish or equivalent are required.
Students live with Spanish families.
These two six-week sessions provide a complete immersion in French. Students are placed in small groups of about 16 people at the same level of French competency, ranging from beginning to advanced. Upon return they are tested and then placed in the appropriate Duke level if they intend to continue with French language studies at Duke. Instruction and accommodations are provided by the University of Quebec, Trois Rivi res campus. This page maintained by Kurt Olausen .
