Faculty Led Study Abroad Summer 2009
Summer is coming sooner than you think, and with it your chance to participate in a short-term study abroad. A faculty-led study abroad program has many advantages
- short duration allows you to pursue other summer plans, such as additional coursework or employment
- led by NMU professors credits applied directly to your NMU degree
- field experiences give you a hands (and feet!)-on view of the local culture and customs
- a chance to make new friends and get to know yourself in a world-wide context
