What you may not know about Touro’s Summer Study Abroad Programs:
$MONEY$: You can get loans for summer study abroad programs as long as you have good credit. Summer is the beginning of a new academic year, yet borrowing money does not reduce what you can borrow for the fall and spring. Summer study funds are taken from a different budget; you won't be left high and dry in 2010, and you can borrow everything you need for the summer—including airfare and spending money.
CREDITS: You can take up to 6 credits. The grades you earn count toward your class rank and standing, AND attending a Touro program abroad counts towards your residency requirement. Whether you are in India or Israel, as long as you're taking 5 credits (4 if you're a part-time student) it's treated as if you're in Central Islip.
GOOD DEAL: The price per credit of a summer course in Central Islip is $1200. Different summer programs have different prices (ranging from $3850 to $6600), but you get a great deal on the cost per credit for study abroad.
RUSSIA: Moscow State University, the “Harvard of Russia,” is THE preeminent institution of higher learning in Russia. Students interested in international business should know how prestigious it is to study law at MSU. A maximum of 5 credits is offered, but students can pay $1200 for 1 extra credit and apply for Independent Research.
ISRAEL: Many of last year's students want to go again. With 4 new course credits offered this year, they can, by pursuing 2 credits of Independent Research. The schedule allows time to explore this beautiful and holy country; students are free from Thursday afternoon to Sunday afternoon each week.
INDIA: Touro has the only law school study abroad program in India. Not only is India mystical and magical, but you will be studying with students from a large array of U.S. law schools, as well as students from the prominent National University of Juridical Sciences in Kolkata.
CHINA: Each student in the program is paired with a Chinese law student from Xiamen University. These helpful peers act as interpreters and guides, and they become close friends. The program begins in Hong Kong and includes a trip to Beijing and the Great Wall. Other optional trips are offered.
GERMANY: Berlin is a vibrant and exciting European capital, yet almost everyone you meet speaks English. We’ve reserved apartments in Prenzlauer-Berg, the Greenwich Village of Berlin, for students who are interested. In past years, participants took weekend trips to Poland, Prague, and Amsterdam.
APPLY NOW! We need to know by the end of March who is going on each program (the Israel deadline is April). There is still space in all 5 programs, but you should apply now! Seats are given on a first-come, first-served basis.
Join us; studying abroad is the experience of a lifetime.
