As Vice Chancellor for Global Affairs at SUNY, I continue to be honored to work
with a system that has such a highly developed commitment to internationalization.
SUNY has extraordinary and creative international study opportunities which have
been developed by our colleagues, administrators and faculty, across 64 campuses.
It goes without saying that experience abroad can be among the most formative
that any students has during his or her college experience. Never before has an
understanding of customs, languages, politics and economics ever been so crucial
to the future of our nation.
To this end, the State University of New York is continuing its commitment to
expand academic programs throughout the world. We continue to work to make
education abroad an accessible, viable, secure and rewarding option for our
students. SUNY offers an incomparable array of study abroad opportunities,
with nearly 600 programs in more than 50 countries. We truly lead the nation.
Our students can study subjects ranging from anthropology to music composition
to zoology, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Our campuses partner
with many of the worlds leading educational institutions, ensuring superior
learning experiences delivered in safe and comfortable environments.
I invite you to take a few moments to review this guide and let your imagination
carry you to the new and exciting places you will find described inside. I encourage
you to contact the SUNY campus offices that administer the programs that interest
you. I welcome you to explore the diverse education abroad options we offer. I am
delighted that you seek to open your eyes, your mind and yourself to the world.
Study abroad will change your life, as it has my own.
Sincerely,
Mitch Leventhal, PhD

INTRODUCTION
are available in more than 100 subjects, ranging alphabetically from aboriginal studies and aerospace engineering to
western philosophy and womens studies. While many
programs focus on language learning and are conducted
in the language of the host country, many others are conducted wholly or partly in English.
Overseas programs are as close to you as a State

University of New York (SUNY) campus or web site. The
following are some frequently asked questions about study
abroad with SUNY. Please take a look before you begin to
explore the many study abroad opportunities we offer.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact one of the
SUNY campuses for additional assistance. Also be sure
to visit SUNYs study abroad directory online at:
Who can study abroad?

State University overseas study programs are, with some
exceptions, open to all SUNY and non-SUNY students,
with eligibility ranging from first year to graduate level.
For many undergraduates, the best time to study abroad
has traditionally been during the junior year; however,
well-prepared sophomores, and occasionally freshmen,
are eligible for some programs. For everyone, careful
preparation and consultation with the campus Director
of International Education are essential for determining
where and when to go.
Why study abroad?

Study abroad can be one of the most rewarding and
exciting experiences in a college students career. Getting
to know another culture, living in a new environment,
learning a new language, meeting people: all these add up
to a kind of education different from what can be acquired
on campus. Equally important for American students is
the discovery of their own countryits customs, its traditions and valuesas they come to see it from a foreign
vantage point. No wonder that so many returnees from
overseas study say that the experience changed their lives.
What does it cost?

Total expenses are competitive with other highly-rated
study abroad programs in public and private universities
across the country. Program costs are usually only slightly
higher than on-campus costs of tuition, room and board
(exclusive of international air fare)and in some countries
expenses are actually less than they would be on campus.
Study abroad students pay SUNY tuition (in-state or outof-state, depending upon New York State residency) plus
costs, which vary from program to program. Matriculated
students at a State University of New York campus register
on their home campus for programs offered at any other
campus. They are thus able to maintain residency and
eligibility for financial aid. (NOTE: Upper-division
students registering at community colleges for overseas
programs should consult with their registrars office
about appropriate credit.)
There is indeed ample testimony to the fact that students

learn well and mature quickly when studying in a different culture. And as all regions of the world become more
interdependent, it is increasingly apparent that the
truly educated person is one who has had first hand
acquaintance with other cultures, both as preparation
for responsible citizenship and, in a more practical way,
as a basis for a career. In the words of former Senator
J. William Fulbright, author of the Fulbright exchange
program, perhaps the greatest power of educational
exchange is the power to convert nations into peoples
and to translate ideologies into human aspirations.
Where are the State University of

New Yorks study abroad programs
offered?
What about financial aid?
SUNY currently offers nearly 600 overseas study programs

in more than 50 countries: in North and South America,
Africa, Asia, Western and Eastern Europe, Australia and
New Zealand. Programs range from 2-3 week intensive
courses to a semester or academic year abroad. Courses
Most financial aid can be applied to overseas study, with

the exception of some program costs and fees. For specific
information students should consult the campus financial
aid officer and the Director of International Education.
HOW TO USE THIS BOOK
who have little or no experience with the language(s)

of instruction offered. It is important to recognize that
sometimes the best environment in which to pick up or
brush up foreign language skills is through immersion!
Embrace the challenge, and you will be surprised by the
opportunities available to you!
Inside this book, you will find all the information you
need to begin your search for the perfect study abroad
program. But first youll need to know how to use the
information given what does it all mean?
Whatever your interests or expectations may be, please

take a look at the Eligibility Requirements section to
see what the specific language requirements are for each
program.
This book is organized into two distinct sections:

(1)Semester and Academic Programs, and (2)Short-Term
Programs, which includes summer, winter, and intersession programs. Each section is organized alphabetically by
country, then divided alphabetically by city and divided
again by the name of the program. This makes it easy to
find a specific university or city you might be interested
in. Once you find a program that interests you, you can
use the following features, which give you more detail:
Eligibility Requirements: These are requirements set

by the SUNY campus that administers each program. At
times, these standards depend on requirements given by
the foreign institutions. If you have any questions regarding the requirements listed, please contact the appropriate
SUNY campus.
Term: This indicates when the program takes place. Exact

dates are not given; for specific information, please contact
the SUNY campus that administers that program.
Credits: Credits are listed as undergraduate or graduate,

depending on the level of credits available for a specific
program. Unless otherwise indicated, all credits given
are for the length of that program. If no graduate credit
levels are given, they are not available. We have included
a list of programs offering graduate credits later in this
introduction.
Program Description: Each program offers unique

areas of interest and has distinct characteristics. Use this
description to decide if a program meets your basic needs,
has the qualities you desire, and offers the academic areas
you are interested in. Remember, these are short, concise
descriptions and are not meant to be complete. If there is
a program that has some of the items you want, but not
all, contact the appropriate SUNY campus to find out
more about it.
Application Deadlines: Deadlines are given by semester,

with the deadline for the fall semester listed first unless
otherwise indicated. Where appropriate, we have indicated that late applications will be considered.
Language of Instruction: Many programs have a

language requirement; others do not. Please check to
make sure you are able to take classes in the language of
instruction. Note: There are programs that offer instruction in English even if the native language is not English.
We have included a list of these programs later in this
introduction.
SUNY Campus: Each program lists the campus you

should contact for additional information. If you have any
questions at all about any of the programs listed here,
please dont hesitate to contact the Office of International
Programs at the appropriate SUNY campus using the
information listed on the next two pages. They are happy
to help in any way possible.
But dont think that if you cant speak a foreign language

that you cant enroll in a foreign language program! Some
non-English based programs are designed for students

Islamic Spain
Country: Spain
Location: Spain and Morocco
Term(s): Summer
Program Description: For nearly eight centuries711 to
1492Muslim kingdoms ruled large portions of the
Iberian Peninsula, creating a rich cultural and historical
legacy, which has profoundly shaped both Europe and
the Islamic world. Islamic Spain (al-Andalus in Arabic)
was an important point of cultural and scholarly contact
by which the classical Greek heritage in science and
philosophy first began to reach universities in Cluny,
Paris and England. Even more, the musical forms, the
Arabic courtly tradition of chaste love poetry, and the
mystical philosophy of the Sufis of al-Andalus all found
their way across the Pyrenees, influencing the music of
the troubadours, the courtly love tradition, and Christian
religious orders in the Europe that lay beyond. And with
the gradual conquest of Islamic Spain by the Christian
states of the north, Muslims steeped in this rich culture
migrated across the Mediterranean, establishing enclaves
that have transformed society in several places in North
Africa.
