“The Canadian Studies Center is excited to announce a fantastic opportunity for undergraduate students called the International Summer School Program which will take place at the University of Alberta this coming summer.This program runs for six weeks (May-mid June; July-mid August) and gives students the chance to take regular academic credit courses alongside Canadian students, as well as other international students. Students can choose from over 300 courses and can register for any of these as long as they meet the prerequisites (if there are any). For a full description of the courses available, please visit: www.international.ualberta.ca/summerschool and click on the “SS@UA Themes” link. While at UA, students are also able to participate in optional activities such a weekend camping trip in the Canadian Rocky Mountains and attending the Calgary Stampede.
In order to apply, students must have completed only one year of college course work and maintained a 2.0 GPA or above in these courses.
The best part about the International Summer School Program is that scholarships are available to help students cover the costs. Each admitted student will receive $1500 CND, while one student will be awarded a full scholarship.
Catherine Sandomirsky, Manager of Summer and Term Programs at the University of Alberta, will be here to answer any questions at the UW Study Abroad Fair on Wednesday, October 22nd from 10:00-1:15 PM. She will also host an informal question and answer session from 1:30-2:30 PM at the Atrium Cafe in the HUB (look for the table with the Canadian flag on it!).
If you have any questions in the meantime, please feel free to email the Canadian Studies Center at this address, or email Caroline Lawson, the UA Study Abroad Student Adviser, at summerschool@international.ualberta.ca. Also, you can find out more information at UA’s website:
www.international.ualberta.ca/summerschool.
If possible, please relay this information to any students that might have an interest in this opportunity and have them email us at canada@u.washington.edu with any questions or attend the informational meeting tomorrow at 1:30 at the Atrium Cafe in the HUB.
Thank you so much for your time.
