Summer study abroad programs provide an opportunity to develop language skills in preparation for a semester abroad, or to have an abroad experience when an entire semester abroad is not possible due to competing academic, extracurricular, or personal interests. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

While the Center for Global Education focuses on academic-year programs, we often advise students on summer options. Students should consult the online directory of summer programs below. Once students have developed a “short list” of potential summer programs, they should discuss the options off-campus study advising staff in the Center for Global Education.<\/p>\n

Summer Study Abroad Registration is required for approval of credit by the Center for Global Education.<\/p>\n

    Summer courses abroad are “transfer courses” and students may apply a maximum of two summer course credits towards their Bates degree. This credit should be pre-approved through the Registrar’s Office. You may access the transfer credit policy<\/a> and the transfer credit application form<\/a> on the Registrar’s website.<\/p>\n

    Bates financial aid is not available to support summer study. \u00a0Some programs do have financial aid for summer study as do some outside scholarships and grants<\/a>.<\/p>\n
