Program Types:

Language Programs can provide skills for completing the Second Language Proficiency Requirement in languages taught at Saint Michael's (French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Spanish) or for developing another language. Students also take liberal studies courses in either the target language or in English.

University Programs offer a wide variety of liberal studies courses at international universities.

Field Study Programs give students a hands-on academic semester, often in developing countries, focused on culture and development, ecology and conservation, peace and conflict studies, etc.

Internship Programs allow students to test potential professions by taking a full-semester of courses plus an extensive academic internship in a specific field such as business, psychology or journalism. Internship Homepage
