Imagine a life-changing summer visiting Russia’s legendary
Kremlin, exploring China's Yangtze River or wandering through the
Left Bank of Paris — all while earning college credit.
Or
spend this fall living, learning and earning credit in three
magnificent European cities in a single semester.
Take advantage of St. John's University's wide range of Global
Studies programs scheduled for this
summer and
fall semesters. Students already are filling spots for these
popular programs, so you'll want to
apply quickly, said Matthew Pucciarelli, Associate Vice
President of
Global Studies at St. John's.
Summer 2012
This summer marks the first time that Pell-eligible students can
receive a $750
Licari Scholarship to offset their Study Abroad fees. Students
interested in this competitive scholarship must apply by March
15.
Some of this summer’s Global Studies options are available for
the first time in years. “Students should catch them now, or they
may miss their chance to study in some remarkable places with
fantastic faculty,” Mr. Pucciarelli added.
Varying from 10 days to a month, summer programs allow students
to explore the language and culture of
Argentina,
Bermuda,
China,
England,
France,
Guatemala,
Italy,
Russia,
Spain,
Turkey and
Vietnam. Students from other colleges and universities also are
invited to
apply.
Fall 2012
Students also have extra incentives to go global this fall: it will
be the third year in a row that St. John’s has not raised program
fees. “It hasn’t been easy,” said Mr. Pucciarelli, “but we are
thrilled that we’ve been able to do it. Our goal is to make sure
all students have the opportunity to study abroad regardless of
their financial background.”
Fall options include a semester at St. John’s
Rome, Italy, campus; the
Paris, France, location; or the University’s unique
Discover the World: Europe program, with the opportunity to
study in three great cities—Rome, Paris and Seville, Spain.
