There is a new study abroad program for OU students to study in Peru and Chile this summer as the Journey to South America.
Students will stay with English-speaking host families and do not have to know Spanish. Students in this program will visit historical museums, churches and ancient pyramids after classes. Therefore, you can not only learn Spanish and culture in their class, but also make friends on the streets.
This program was made to be an alternative to studying abroad for a semester or a year. This program will give students chance to be away from campus for a longer period of time.
Karen Elmore, assistant director of Education Abroad said in an e-mail that “you learn differently in a study abroad program than in a classroom, and students will get to walk on the streets, see the people.”
Students who have a 2.5 or higher grade point average can be qualified to apply for Journey to South America. In addition, if you are interested in this program, you can attend two information sessions at 4:30 p.m. Feb. 3 and 24 in the Education Abroad Office.
