Summer Programs

Some Rules:

· You can receive transfer credits for an approved summer program. Credits coming from an institution operating on a semester system will be computed by multiplying the number of weeks spent on the program by 1.8. You need to submit an OCS petition and a program approval petition (for non-affiliated programs) by the third Thursday of Spring Term, April 15, 2010.

· Study at one of the non-accredited language institutes will NOT be eligible for Carleton credit. However, many students find it useful when seeking to improve their language skills. When choosing one of these institutes, look for:

• small classes
• number of classroom interaction per day (minimum 4-5 hours/day)
• daily practice with instructors and students
• instruction in cultural context
• language assistants/tutors
• out-of-classroom activities with native speakers using target language
• homestays or dorm arrangements with native speakers
• prices (to compare: a six-week program in American language schools, such as Monterey, Middlebury, or Beloit costs around $5000, including room and board)
• check the language institute survey web site here
