YEREVAN ”” The American University of Armenia (AUA) is excited to announce the launch of Summer Program 2016. For international students looking to embark on the educational adventure of a lifetime, the Summer Program is the perfect opportunity; combining unique academic offerings with the benefits of a safe, welcoming, and exciting environment. The Summer Program is also perfect for those who wish to experience the authentic sights, sounds, and flavors of Armenia while getting ahead in their academics by earning credits for transfer back to their home university.

Participants may choose from a range of courses including Introduction to Environmental Sciences, Global Perspectives and Site Stories, the AUA 2016 Summer Archaeological Field School, and a joint AUA-UCLA course offering Armenian Language and Culture.

In addition to the great opportunities on campus, Summer Program participants complement their educational experience outside the classroom with the Discover Armenia Educational Tours. They will discover the array of sites Armenia has to offer, from ancient temples and medieval churches to the modern sights of Yerevan.

Professor Gregory Areshian states the Summer Program helps “establish a deep, internal connection between these Armenian youth in the Diaspora and their homeland”
