SUMMER PROGRAMS

Study in the Venezuelan Andes this summer! 

VENUSA has arrangements with various U.S. universities through which it offers summer study abroad programs. The summer study abroad programs are offered in two terms. Each term is six weeks in length and has the same basic structure as the study abroad programs during the semester and academic year.

Students may earn up to 10 credits and will receive a transcript from the University of Minnesota. New York students and/or residents may receive a transcript from STATE UNIVERSITY NEW YORK CORTLAND. There is no minimum Spanish language requirement as VEN-USA College offers courses at all levels.

The summer program fee includes tuition, homestay with 3 daily meals, general and academic orientation, welcome session, social and cultural events, airport transfer, study abroad insurance, on-site support staff, cultural adjustment session(s), computer lab and library access, wireless internet access, laptop lockers and in-house travel service. Students also have the opportunity to earn a trip to the Caribbean Coast during their stay.

Summer I session: Mid-May thru Late June (6 weeks)

Summer II session: Late June thru Mid-August (6 weeks)

Due to the popularity of the summer programs, students should apply early. Late applicants are accepted on space-availability only. Stipend may be available to students that apply for both summer sessions (must be consecutive summer sessions). The review & acceptance process typically takes 7 business days. Upon acceptance, participants will electronically receive program, required forms and information and travel options.

VOLUNTEER POSITIONS ARE ALSO AVAILABLE DURING THE SUMMER PROGRAMS.
