Dear Student,
Globalization is changing the way we live and work. An understanding of languages,
politics, culture and economics has never been more crucial to the future of our
world. It is difficult for us to even imagine your lifetime trajectory as the world
continues to “shrink” and “flatten.” But we do know this: your need for international
experience and the cross-cultural competence and critical thinking that it brings will
only increase as time goes by.
Education abroad is one of the most effective ways to gain global skills and access
to personal and professional opportunities in your future. In fact, analysis from
the SAGE Research Project of more than 6,000 alumni over a period of fifty years
demonstrates a significant long-term impact on an individual’s career path and global
engagement. Education abroad enhances employability and lifetime earning power.
The State University of New York is strongly committed to making education abroad
accessible and rewarding for SUNY students, as well as the many students across
the United States who choose SUNY study abroad programs for their quality and
affordability. SUNY institutions partner with many of the world’s leading universities
to offer superior learning experiences delivered in safe and comfortable environments. SUNY offers an incomparable array of high-quality study abroad opportunities. With more than 600 programs of in 50+ countries, spanning all seven continents, there is a program to meet virtually every need.
Please take a few moments to let your imagination carry you to the new and exciting
destinations you will find described within this guide. When you find the ones that
interest you most, I encourage you to contact the SUNY campus offices that administer those programs for answers to your inevitable questions. The sooner you start
planning the more likely you are to fulfill your dream of studying abroad. You are to
be congratulated for taking the first step, now keep going – the best is yet to come.
Study abroad changed the course of my life, and it will transform yours as well!
Bon voyage,

INTRODUCTION
abroad. Courses are available in more than 100 subjects,
ranging alphabetically from aboriginal studies and aerospace engineering to western philosophy and women’s
studies. While many programs focus on language learning
and are conducted in the language of the host country,
many others are conducted wholly or partly in English.
Overseas programs are as close to you as a State
University of New York (SUNY) campus or web site. The
following are some frequently asked questions about study
abroad with SUNY. Please take a look before you begin to
explore the many study abroad opportunities we offer.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact one of the
SUNY campuses for additional assistance. Also be sure
to visit SUNY’s study abroad directory online at:
www.sunysystemabroad.com
Who can study abroad?
State University overseas study programs are, with some
exceptions, open to all SUNY and non-SUNY students,
with eligibility ranging from first year to graduate level.
For many undergraduates, the best time to study abroad
has traditionally been during the junior year; however,
well-prepared sophomores, and occasionally freshmen,
are eligible for some programs. For everyone, careful
preparation and consultation with the campus Director
of International Education are essential for determining
where and when to go.
Why study abroad?
Study abroad can be one of the most rewarding and
exciting experiences in a college student’s career. Getting
to know another culture, living in a new environment,
learning a new language, meeting people: all these add up
to a kind of education different from what can be acquired
on campus. Equally important for American students is
the discovery of their own country–its customs, its traditions and values–as they come to see it from a foreign
vantage point. No wonder that so many returnees from
overseas study say that the experience changed their lives.
What does it cost?
Total expenses are competitive with other highly-rated
study abroad programs in public and private universities
across the country. Program costs are usually only slightly
higher than on-campus costs of tuition, room and board
(exclusive of international air fare)–and in some countries
expenses are actually less than they would be on campus.
Study abroad students pay SUNY tuition (in-state or outof-state, depending upon New York State residency) plus
costs, which vary from program to program. Matriculated
students at a State University of New York campus register
on their home campus for programs offered at any other
campus. They are thus able to maintain residency and
eligibility for financial aid. (NOTE: Upper-division
students registering at community colleges for overseas
programs should consult with their registrar’s office
about appropriate credit.)
There is indeed ample testimony to the fact that students
learn well and mature quickly when studying in a different culture. And as all regions of the world become more
interdependent, it is increasingly apparent that the
truly educated person is one who has had first hand
acquaintance with other cultures, both as preparation
for responsible citizenship and, in a more practical way,
as a basis for a career. In the words of former Senator
J. William Fulbright, author of the Fulbright exchange
program, “perhaps the greatest power of educational
exchange is the power to convert nations into peoples
and to translate ideologies into human aspirations.”
Where are the State University of
New York’s study abroad programs
offered?
What about financial aid?
SUNY currently offers more than 600 overseas study
programs in more than 50 countries: in North and
South America, Africa, Asia, Western and Eastern Europe,
Australia and New Zealand. Programs range from 2-3
week intensive courses to a semester or academic year
Most financial aid can be applied to overseas study, with
the exception of some program costs and fees. For specific
information students should consult the campus financial
aid officer and the Director of International Education.

HOW TO USE THIS BOOK
who have little or no experience with the language(s)
of instruction offered. It is important to recognize that
sometimes the best environment in which to pick up or
brush up foreign language skills is through immersion!
Embrace the challenge, and you will be surprised by the
opportunities available to you!
Inside this book, you will find all the information you
need to begin your search for the perfect study abroad
program. But first you’ll need to know how to use the
information given – what does it all mean?
Whatever your interests or expectations may be, please
take a look at the Eligibility Requirements section to
see what the specific language requirements are for each
program.
This book is organized into two distinct sections:
(1)Semester and Academic Programs, and (2)Short-Term
Programs, which includes summer, winter, and intersession programs. Each section is organized alphabetically by
country, then divided alphabetically by city and divided
again by the name of the program. This makes it easy to
find a specific university or city you might be interested
in. Once you find a program that interests you, you can
use the following features, which give you more detail:
Eligibility Requirements: These are requirements set
by the SUNY campus that administers each program. At
times, these standards depend on requirements given by
the foreign institutions. If you have any questions regarding the requirements listed, please contact the appropriate
SUNY campus.
Term: This indicates when the program takes place. Exact
dates are not given; for specific information, please contact
the SUNY campus that administers that program.
Credits: Credits are listed as undergraduate or graduate,
depending on the level of credits available for a specific
program. Unless otherwise indicated, all credits given
are for the length of that program. If no graduate credit
levels are given, they are not available. We have included
a list of programs offering graduate credits later in this
introduction.
Program Description: Each program offers unique
areas of interest and has distinct characteristics. Use this
description to decide if a program meets your basic needs,
has the qualities you desire, and offers the academic areas
you are interested in. Remember, these are short, concise
descriptions and are not meant to be complete. If there is
a program that has some of the items you want, but not
all, contact the appropriate SUNY campus to find out
more about it.
Application Deadlines: Deadlines are given by semester,
with the deadline for the fall semester listed first unless
otherwise indicated. Where appropriate, we have indicated that late applications will be considered.
Language of Instruction: Many programs have a
language requirement; others do not. Please check to
make sure you are able to take classes in the language of
instruction. Note: There are programs that offer instruction in English even if the native language is not English.
We have included a list of these programs later in this
introduction.
SUNY Campus: Each program lists the campus you
should contact for additional information. If you have any
questions at all about any of the programs listed here,
please don’t hesitate to contact the Office of International
Programs at the appropriate SUNY campus using the
information listed on the next two pages. They are happy
to help in any way possible.
But don’t think that if you can’t speak a foreign language
that you can’t enroll in a foreign language program! Some
non-English based programs are designed for students

Language of Instruction: English
Program Description: Dates: May 25- June 21
Study where western civilization began; immerse yourself in
the culture and the land that introduced many of the ideas
that we in the Western world hold dear to our hearts. Walk
among the hallow pathways where Aristotle and Plato talked
and discussed rhetoric, an important tool in today's
manager’s skill sets. More importantly understand that
rhetoric is more than words: it is emotions, it is feelings, and
it is communications!
Ancient Greece, in particular Athens, is keystone to
understanding Western culture, science, philosophy, society,
theater, literature, mathematics, art and our form of
democracy. Fortunately many of the actual locations where
these events and dialogues took place are accessible to the

that have taken place there into an educational program that
teaches international business, entrepreneurship, ethics and
innovation, students experience the concept from a physical
perspective and are immersed in the environment. Students
will gain an understanding of a different culture and learn the
historical context of that culture.

Islamic Spain
Country: Spain

Language of Instruction: English
Program Description: For nearly eight centuries—711 to
1492—Muslim kingdoms ruled large portions of the Iberian
Peninsula, creating a rich cultural and historical legacy, which
has profoundly shaped both Europe and the Islamic world.
Islamic Spain (al-Andalus in Arabic) was an important point
of cultural and scholarly contact by which the classical Greek
heritage in science and philosophy first began to reach
universities in Cluny, Paris and England. Even more, the
musical forms, the Arabic courtly tradition of “chaste love”
poetry, and the mystical philosophy of the Sufis of alAndalus all found their way across the Pyrenees, influencing
the music of the troubadours, the courtly love tradition, and
Christian religious orders in the Europe that lay beyond. And
with the gradual conquest of Islamic Spain by the Christian
states of the north, Muslims steeped in this rich culture
migrated across the Mediterranean, establishing enclaves that
have transformed society in several places in North Africa.
