3. GLOBAL PARTNERS SEMESTER IN TURKEY PROGRAM, FALL 2002

A few spaces remain for this great opportunity for your students to study in Turkey. The program gives students the chance to experience both Istanbul and Ankara and to participate in a field study trip through important modern and ancient sites in western Turkey. Classes are selected at two of Turkey's finest universities (Bilkent University and Middle East Technical University/METU). In addition, students take a core course on Turkey under the leadership of the program directors (Professors Pedar Foss and Rebecca Schindler of DePauw University). At both Bilkent and METU all instruction is in English. Cost is $10,000, which includes housing, tuition, some meals and the field trip. For more information visit http://www.41colleges.org/turkey/studyabroad/.
