International Programs

Many Green Mountain students seeking international experiences spend semesters abroad with our partners schools in Wales and Korea, or, for a shorter period, they have the option of our language-immersion programs in Argentina and France. More information on the programs is listed below.

STUDENT EXCHANGE PROGRAMS
Wales: University of Wales-Aberystwyth
Building upon the Welsh Heritage of the Slate Valley region of Vermont and New York, Green Mountain College maintains an active student exchange program with the University of Wales in Aberystwyth. This semester long exchange program offers Green Mountain students an opportunity to pursue their studies in most academic areas while getting to know the culture and history of Wales. Applications for this spring semester program are made available in September of each year. Application deadlines are usually the first week of October with interviews and the selection process completed by November 1st. Contact Dick Weis, Director of International Programs (weisd@greenmtn.edu, telephone 802 287-8259) or Dr. Tom Williams (williamst@greenmtn.edu, telephone 802 287-8332) for further information.

Korea: Hannam University
The exchange program with Hannam University reflects a portion of the interest Green Mountain College faculty have in Asian Studies. Green Mountain College students have an opportunity to apply for a spring semester in South Korea or participate in a 3 week, 3 credit Special Summer Program at the Hannam campus. A number of Green Mountain College faculty have established connections at Hannam University and courses for non-Korean students are available in English which makes the transition for GMC students quite easy. This opportunity to experience the culture and history of Korea is very special. Application deadlines are usually the first week of October with interviews and the selection process completed by November 1st. Contact Dick Weis, Director of International Programs (weisd@greenmtn.edu, telephone 802 287-8259) or Dr. Vangie Blust (blustv@greenmtn.edu, telephone 802 287-8295) for further information.

LANGUAGE IMMERSION PROGRAMS
France: L’Institute Mèditerranèen d’Etudes Françaises (IMEF)
Students may earn College credit for this 3-week academic and cultural immersion course taught in the ancient city of Montpellier near the Mediterranean Sea. Students do intensive language study during the week, followed by excursions to historic and cultural landmarks of the region on the weekend.

Argentina: Universidad del Centro Educativo Latinamericano (UCEL)
Green Mountain College also offers the opportunity to study the Spanish language and South American culture in Argentina for 3 credits in humanities. Participants join with students from other colleges and universities in classes for every level of Spanish instruction, including one for beginners. The program is held in association with the Universidad del Centro Educativo Latinamericano (UCEL), a university related to our college through the International Association of Methodist Schools, Colleges and Universities (IAMSCU). UCEL is located in Rosario, Argentina, which is three hours from Buenos Aires, and has a enrollment of 2000 students. The university is accredited by the Ministry of Higher Education in Argentina.
