Summer Programs

International Education

Summer is a great time to pick up a course or two while also experiencing another culture and a different part of the world. Although Randolph-Macon does not offer summer abroad programs, several of the overseas institutions with which Randolph-Macon has semester abroad programs also have summer programs.

NOTE FOR R-MC STUDENTS: As with any course you plan to take at a college or university other than R-MC, verify, in advance, that R-MC will accept the course(s) offered overseas for transfer credits. Do not assume that all courses will transfer back because many will not. Stop by the Registrar's Office, pick up a blue "TRANSFER CREDIT PERMISSION FORM" that is required for all transfer work, and ask how to go about getting permission to take the course(s) before you go abroad.

	England at Lancaster University
	Lancaster University offers an International Pre-Session Programme (information for summer 2005 is not yet available). It runs late in the summer when compared with a typical American academic calendar, typically mid-August to mid September. However, for students who plan to study in Europe during the fall semester or whose academic plans otherwise fit the schedule, Lancaster's program may be a good option. More information about studying at Lancaster is available from their International Office as well as R-MC's Office of International Education.
