Summer Study Abroad
Sponsored by Bryn Mawr College
The College sponsors summer programs abroad in Avignon, France, and Pisa, Italy. The Institut d'études françaises d'Avignon offers a six-week program of intensive advanced work in French literature and culture. The program is open to male and female undergraduate and graduate students from other colleges and from Bryn Mawr. Some of the courses carry graduate credit. Summer study in Pisa offers 6-week intensive courses in elementary, intermediate and advanced Italian, as well as courses on the Italian short story and art (taught in English).
Courses at Pisa and Avignon are often taught by Bryn Mawr faculty and are always taught and graded according to Bryn Mawr standards. Therefore, grades from these courses are included on Bryn Mawr transcripts and in Bryn Mawr GPAs. However, these courses do not ordinarily count towards the residency requirement.
