Welcome to the short-term study abroad application for short-term programs at Juniata College.
Visit the Program Search to see a current list of short-term program offerings.
The online application form may be just one part of the application process. Some short-term programs require recommendations. See below for full details.
Some short-term language are entirely during the summer and the deadline to apply for them is February 15. (examples: language learning programs in France, Germany, Austria, Russia, and Mexico.) Talk about these courses with your language faculty to choose which place might be best for you.
Many of our courses are short-term faculty led (STFL) courses which require enrolling in a course in the spring and the summer (or fall and spring when the travel part is during January.) You would enroll in the spring course through the Arch by the end of January add/drop and complete your Terra Dotta application by February 15. For a winter course, you would generally enroll in the fall course through the Arch by the end of August add/drop and complete your Terra Dotta application by October 1.
Recommendations
Courses that are led by Juniata faculty members do not require letters of recommendation. However, it may require permission of the instructor to enroll in the course.
Courses that are based in another country which require you to speak and learn in a language other than English may require a recommendation or just an informal assessment by the language professor listed as the main contact for the course. You should contact that professor to find out what is required.
If you have any questions about your application, contact the Director of Study Abroad (studyabroad@juniata.edu).
