Description

It's no wonder why Europe is among most students' top destination to study abroad. The region is filled with captivating cultures, languages, architecture, art, history, and so much more! GlobaLinks Learning Abroad, formerly known as EuroLearn, offers direct enrollment programs that give you the opportunity to choose from a wide range of academic areas, live and study alongside local students, and immerse yourself in European culture.

Study abroad for a summer at the American College of Thessaloniki's Summer Program in Greece with EuroLearn. The summer study abroad program at the American College of Thessaloniki (ACT) is specifically designed to meet the needs of North American college students at all undergraduate levels. The summer program is five weeks long and you may choose to take two, three credit courses in liberal arts, technology, and/or business; or, choose courses in Greek language, history, culture and art. Classes are taught in English by experienced American and International faculty and teaching style requires little adaptation by students from the United States. Classrooms are diverse, with students from all over the world, providing a multi-cultural learning experience.

A well developed service learning program, the Dukakis Lecture Series, clubs, film screenings, workshops, athletic tournaments, art exhibits, fieldtrips and internships give ample opportunities for you to integrate with peers, faculty, the wider Anatolia campus and the Thessaloniki community.

Most courses are worth 3 US semester credits. GlobaLinks Learning Abroad students will enroll in 2 classes during the summer earning up to 6 US semester credits.
