Not Sure How to Spend Your Winter Break?
We Have a Few Ideas...*
*Be
sure to check back fall semester for an updated list of
programs for winter 2013-14!
St. John’s University believes that every
student needs a global perspective for success in their personal
and professional lives. To this end, we offer a variety of study
abroad options to suit your needs. Intersession opportunities give
you flexibility to take additional credits in a short time period
while enjoying the advantages of studying abroad.
Our short-term programs provide all the
benefits of intensive experiential learning while accommodating
students with more specific academic or time concerns. As with all
our programs, you’ll make extensive use of the local environment as
part of your classroom experience.
St. John’s unique courses will immerse you
in such disciplines as language and culture, communications,
history and art. In addition, these programs allow you ample time
to explore your surroundings on your own and become immersed in
your new home cities.
Benefits include:
- Full immersion in a foreign
country
- More affordable
- Focused on short-term
coursework
- Popular destinations
- Academic Program
Programs are geared toward helping
students gain immediate foreign country immersion in a particular
discipline between semesters.
Previous offerings have taken students to
Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Italy, France, Russia, Spain, The
Galapagos Islands and Vietnam.
Winter intersession programs can benefit
any student, but have previously focused on the following majors:
Business, Communications, Fine Arts, Foreign language, Liberal
Arts, International Relations and Political Science
majors.
