May Term Study Abroad Programs

Studying abroad during May term has tons of appeal. If you’re a bit timid to go for a whole summer or semester, May term is the perfect opportunity to get your feet wet. You can also literally get your feet wet by dipping those toes in the Mediterranean Sea or perhaps the Pacific Ocean, depending on where you choose to study abroad in May. There is nothing like the act of getting out there and doing it. You can try out this whole studying abroad thing for just a few weeks, and chances are you’ll want to go back for longer!

Another bonus of studying abroad in May? Heading overseas in May to earn credit won’t interfere with summer job plans or family commitments at home. On the flip side, it’s also the perfect excuse to stick around after your course is through to backpack, volunteer, or write your very own adventure-novel.

The staff and teachers at Maximo are super helpful and skilled! I do think that the program is what you make of it and if you study hard in your free time you will definitely improve. The staff was always very attentive and kind.

At BLCU, academic rigor meets cultural heartbeat.

At BLCU, academic rigor meets cultural heartbeat. The curriculum is a carefully built bridge from textbook proficiency to living fluency. What sets it apart is the ecosystem—the campus is a microcosm of global China, where a coffee break conversation can pivot from particle physics to the best Peking duck in the city. The professors are custodians of the language, teaching you not only how to speak, but how to listen to the history in each character. You don't graduate with just a certificate; you graduate with a new lens.
