Summer Abroad
Joshua Noah in Otavalo, Ecuador, Summer 2007
Can’t work a term abroad into your curriculum plan? Think summer! Summer abroad programs offer academic credit and a glimpse of the life and culture of another part of the world. And, generous financial support is available, especially for those studying abroad for the first time.
Selecting a Program
Most students study abroad in the summer in a faculty-led Berea International Summer Term (BIST) course or through the Kentucky Institute for International Studies (KIIS) or Knowledge Exchange Institute (KEI), both of which offer especially cost-effective programs.
The following BIST courses will be offered during Summer 2013:
- Ireland: The Art of Observation: Perspective and Perception in Travel
- France: The Wonders of Paris
- Honduras: Coral Reef Ecosystems
- Denmark: An Exploration of Danish Gymnastics
In addition to BIST, KEI and KIIS, there are many other options. For example, through other program providers, Berea students have recently studied tropical conservation and Spanish in Costa Rica, intensive Chinese in Beijing and indigenous culture and history in Australia. For more information about other programs, contact the Education Abroad Team.
Financial Support
Financial support from Berea College is available for any major to cover a portion of the cost of a summer abroad. The Department of Foreign Languages offers similar financial support for qualified majors and minors.
