Summer Programs give students the opportunity to study in a foreign country for a short period, often focusing on intensive language study or one aspect of a country or culture. For example, students can experience the Korean language and culture, work with and study the Australian Indigenous population, or travel to Russia to learn about the history of Communism. Students who wish to improve their language skills or learn about a special academic subject in another country will benefit from Summer Programs. This is also a good option for students with a very rigid major or paradigm.
START PLANNING FOR SUMMER! We recommend you apply between November – January 15, before the summer you want to go.
Our deadline is February 1, but some programs may have earlier deadlines.
You may also wish to consider our remote / virtual options.

Each program has a different application process and form available on the partner website. Generally an initial online application will be required, and at some point you need to be prepared to submit a resume and take part in an interview.
Note: MC uses the language of “Community Engaged Scholars” but you may find opportunities abroad called “Volunteer Abroad” or “Service Learning Abroad”
