J-Term Programs

The Greek Connection (Students with the Parthenon in the background)Augustana offers a wide array of J-Term courses abroad!  J-Term programs enable all students to consider studying abroad regardless of a student's major requirements or extracurricular commitments. During J-Term, Augustana professors regularly lead academic courses to destinations around the globe.  In addition to Augustana faculty-led courses that are open to enrollment by Augustana college students only, twenty-four courses are available during January 2014 through UMAIE, the Upper Midwest Association for Intercultural Education.  UMAIE courses are open to Augustana students as well as students from the six other colleges that are members of the UMAIE consortium.  Finally, Augustana students can also participate in an approved third party provider program.  Each of these options offers unique advantages.  Make an appointment today with a study abroad advisor in the International Programs Office to discuss your options!
