API offers study abroad programs year-round in 18 countries, in 40 cities. Programs can be as long as a full academic year or as short as two weeks. With a wide variety of courses offered in almost every major discipline and in various languages of instruction, it is easy for students to find a program that suits their academic interests. While courses are available in English in many locations, if foreign language acquisition is the primary goal, API offers high-quality language and culture programs for all levels of language learners.

Focus

ac a demic

e x c ellen c e

All API students take courses at a partner institution or university based in their host country, rather than at a center just for API students. API university and institutional partners are either fully accredited foreign universities or institutes with U.S. schools of record.

value

API prides itself on the services and features it includes in its program costs so as to minimize out-of-pocket expenses for students on-site. API programs are designed to offer students a complete study abroad experience. The cost of an API program includes more than just tuition and housing. Exciting overnight and day excursions, academic and cultural support and resources, mobile phones, medical and life insurance, as well as social and cultural events are included in the cost of the program. For most programs, the main out-of-pocket expenses are the cost of the international flight and daily spending money for travel and meals. Additionally, once a student is accepted into an API program and quoted a program price, it will not change. With API, a student can accomplish more for less money!

S u peri o r

s t u d en t

s er v i c e s

Studying abroad is a very exciting process, but also one that leads to many questions. API Program Managers and other U.S.-based staff are knowledgeable and readily available to assist students throughout the pre-departure process and into their session abroad. Once abroad, on-site API directors support students through the cultural transition process, provide academic support and guidance and serve as a source of reference both for everyday questions and emergencies. Whether the concern relates to academics, housing or daily life abroad, API strives to provide students with as much practical advice and guidance as possible. 7

A d v i s ing API staff members guide students through the administrative processes of the pre-departure phase of study abroad. Students and parents may contact API staff as often as they desire with questions about academics, on-site logistics, special needs, visa procedures, etc. API staff members, in turn, are frequently in touch with students regarding program updates, essential travel tips and recommendations for having a successful experience abroad.

All applicants have access to the @api online student account. This online system allows students to complete and check the status of their application, download and complete application and post-acceptance forms, and verify that payments have been credited to their account.

Orien t a t i o n M a t eri a l s and Resources All API students receive orientation materials to help them prepare for their study abroad session. API students have access to a unique online service, the API Toolbox, which includes orientation materials, diagnostic exams, and language reviews. The Toolbox includes information on logistical details, cultural differences, what students can expect at their host university, health and safety concerns, travel tips and more. Additionally, in certain locations, API offers pre-departure orientation sessions for students and parents on the home campus. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––---––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

“API offered SO much to us. Definitely more than any other program I have heard of and for such an amazing price. If you took advantage of everything API offered, you really got your money’s worth. I was so satisfied with everything on-site.”

- Talia H.

M o b ile

P h o ne

All API students receive a free phone with discounted calling packages. With these cell phones, parents, API Resident Directors, family and friends at home and abroad can communicate with students and more easily contact them in the event of an emergency. When in the host country, incoming calls are free for students. Outgoing calls incur a per minute charge, and text messages also carry a fee per text.

Men t o r s

The API Peer Mentors are former API students who are available to speak to future API students about their program of interest. Peer Mentors have completed extensive training sessions with API and can answer questions students may have about the student experience.

Social

N e t w o rking

API has created award-winning social networks which provide students the opportunity to communicate informally with past students, outbound students and API staff members, as well as to be notified of upcoming events and program developments.

R e c ep t i o n

API students are met at the airport by API staff on the program start date. Students receive detailed flight instructions upon their acceptance into the API program and should wait to purchase a flight until receiving more information post-acceptance.

R e s i d en t Dire c t o r s API has highly qualified, trained and experienced English-speaking Resident Directors available to students throughout their session abroad. Most Resident Directors are locals from the host country in which students will be studying and all are ready to provide practical information and insight into the host culture. Our Resident Directors greet students at the airport, introduce students to the ways of life in their host country, help students to register at the host university and support students throughout their stay. They are available in case of any personal emergency and are ready to implement the API emergency response plans if needed. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––---––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

“The Resident Directors were always available no matter what the issue or time of day. The events and excursions we went on were amazing. They showed us parts of europe that I would never have seen on my own. We stayed in good hotels and the trips were always perfectly coordinated. Overall, I always had fun with API and was always pleased with how helpful they were to me and my friends.”

Orien t a t i o n

The on-site orientation takes place during the first week of a student’s stay. API orientations include tours of the city as well as practical information about life in the host city, including transportation, safety and local culture. The orientation is designed to minimize adjustment difficulties upon arrival and gives students a chance to get to know other participants in the program.

H o u s ing Housing is included in the API program fee. Depending on the host city, students may choose from various housing options, including apartments or student dormitories. Students can request single rooms on their housing form for an additional cost, although some sites may have guaranteed single rooms as part of the program fee. A $250 security deposit is due by the final payment deadline for all programs. A fee of $75 will be retained from all security deposits to cover standard cleaning fees and general maintenance fees, including minor repairs and standard touch-up painting. The remaining $175 is refundable provided that: 1) no additional fees are assessed on-site for incidentals, damages or excessive utility usage; and 2) the API program fee has been paid in full. Housing for all year students during the period between the fall and spring semesters is not included in the API program fee. Most students take advantage of this time to return home to the U.S. or to travel around their host country. In most cases, API can arrange between-term housing for students in their host city for an additional fee. Refer to the city information sections for more specific housing information by location.

Tuition All programs include a fixed number of credits per term as part of the standard fee. The number of credits that a student can earn each session is detailed on each program page, and varies from 12-18 credits per semester session and 5-8 credits per summer session.

“I was overall extremely impressed by API’s program, I loved it so much I really wish I had done a year!”

- Brooke C.

E xcursions During the program, students have the opportunity to broaden their classroom education through several organized excursions, which are included in the price of the program.

Peer Mentors serve as resources for outbound students, participating in their home school’s study abroad fair, serving as a study abroad advocate, giving presentations to student groups and the community at large, and helping API to keep its predeparture information relevant and student-focused. Upon completion of their year of service, Peer Mentors may apply for an internship with API, a great résumé builder. Students are also encouraged to join our alumni groups on Facebook and LinkedIn for additional post-program networking opportunities and resources.

API students have the option to purchase the API Program Withdrawal Safeguard (PWS) as financial protection in case of an unanticipated event that requires withdrawal from an API program prior to departure. More information on PWS (including deadlines for enrollment, exclusions, and corresponding fees) can be found on the API website and is provided to students post-acceptance.

Fin a n c i a l a i d a n d s c h o l a r s hip s f r o m y o u r h o m e in s t i t u t i o n API is happy to accept institutional and federal financial aid that is processed by the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home university. Students who plan on using financial aid toward the cost of the study abroad session should meet with their schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial aid office EARLY! All students, even those who are not currently receiving financial aid, are encouraged to meet with financial aid representatives at their home university to determine eligibility for scholarships, grants, or loans available during the study abroad semester. Some students are even eligible to increase the amount of their financial aid award based on the comparative cost of living abroad. API signs consortium agreements as necessary to ensure that financial aid can be applied to the API program cost.

T a lk t o a s t u d y a b r o a d a d v i s o r a t h o m e Each U.S. university sets its own guidelines regarding how it accepts credit from abroad. All API program participants are advised to discuss credit transfer policies with their home university. API strongly recommends that students obtain pre-approval for coursework abroad whenever possible and speak with their study abroad advisor to obtain the necessary paperwork. Students should also take an advisorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contact information with them abroad, in the event that course offerings change once on-site. An official transcript from the accredited U.S. or foreign institution with an English translation (as needed) is sent to the registrar or study abroad advisor upon each studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successful completion of a program.

Un d er s t a n d h o w u ni v er s i t ie s m e a s u re c re d i t s

Another unit of measurement is based on the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). Semester courses are often awarded 6 ECTS credits. Universities in the U.S. typically award .5 credit hour for every 1 ECTS credit. For example, a course worth 6 ECTS would transfer to the U.S. as 3 U.S. semester credit hours. STUDENTS WHO ARE UNCLEAR ABOUT contact HOURS OR EQUIVALENCIES ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONTACT THE API OFFICE.

abroad

Grades abroad are affected by attendance and class participation in most programs. Failing to meet the established attendance requirements may result in a failing final grade and no credit transfer. Grades are assigned by the host institution.

tr ansfer credits

One unit of measurement that many American universities and foreign universities use to determine transfer credit is the CONTACT HOUR. A contact hour is a 50-minute block of time spent in the classroom. To determine transfer credit equivalencies within the semester system, divide the total number of contact hours by 15. For a quarter system equivalency, divide the total number of contact hours by 10. Based on the successful completion of an average course load abroad, each student should expect to receive 180-280 contact hours per quarter/semester (12-18 semester credits) or 80-135 contact hours per summer session (5-9 semester credits per summer session).

“Dubrovnik is a centuries old stage upon which some of the key diplomatic issues between the Muslim East and European West were debated. To be here and to study diplomacy and international relations is much like finding oneself in a motion picture that revolves around international diplomacy and business. Dubrovnik is the “pearl of the Adriatic”, a Medieval city-state, and one of the first states to give recognition to the newly formed United States of America by means of a trade agreement. At that time, in the 18th century, Dubrovnik had more than 80 consular offices around the world and was one of the first states to abolish slave trade. All of these are impressive facts from the history of Dubrovnik. We will not tell you what Dubrovnik is today, we want you to find out firsthand the wonders of this modern European city. Dubrovnik is also the stage where parts of the popular TV series Game of Thrones is filmed, and Dubrovnik has often been the host of such people as John Malkovich, Tom Cruise, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Ashley Judd.” - Nada, API Dubrovnik Co-Resident Director

Dubrovnik International University (DIU) is the first private university in Croatia, ideally situated along the Adriatic Sea and located within the ancient city walls of Dubrovnik. The city of Dubrovnik is recognized throughout the world as a place with a distinct identity in terms of traits and factors which conditioned its development. These include diplomacy, international relations and trade, and relations between civilizations and art. This rich heritage, along with Dubrovnik’s marvelous diplomatic and economic history, which is still evident throughout the ancient city, makes it the perfect location to pursue the study of international affairs and business.

INTERNATIONAL E XCURSION s p r i n g

A rich history has left numerous historic and cultural traces in these parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina, none more so than the town of Mostar. The vivid city has many cultural and religious features, including some impressive relics left by the Turkish, during the rule of the Ottoman Empire. Mostar’s most recognizable landmark is the bridge and the Old City. In this Bosnian town you can also visit Old Bazaar and a typical Turkish house.

INTERNATIONAL E XCURSION f a l l Just a short drive from Dubrovnik, Montenegro offers a peek into a corner of the Balkans that has been relatively unexplored by Western tourists until recently. Perast sits at the foot of St. Elijah Hill on a cape between the Bay of Risano and the Bay of Kotor, among a series of “fjords” inland from the Adriatic sea. Perast was at its peak in the 18th century under the republic of Venice, and was at one point annexed by Mussolini’s Italy before joining the Yugoslav Republic. Today it is a prize of Montenegro, one of the “newest” countries in the world.

It contains breathtaking waterfalls, streams, and lakes, that remind you of a mash up of landscapes from Yosemite, Costa Rica, and Hawaii. The unique water features were formed by above and below ground rivers which are interconnected. The lakes are known for their unique colors (blues, greens and grays) which are affected by the various minerals, flora and fauna, and the angle of the sunlight. ro me,

INTERNATIONAL E XCURSION s p r i n g • f a l l With an almost uninterrupted history as an important center of power for more than two millennia, Rome is as close to eternal as it gets. The “Eternal City” was once the administrative center of the mighty Roman Empire, governing a vast region that stretched all the way from Britain to Mesopotamia. Today, it remains the seat of the Italian government and the world’s biggest open air museum.

Students will have the chance to see Roman emperor Diocletian’s Palace, visit one of the nearby Dalmatian islands of Hvar or Brac, and hike up Marjan Hill for a spectacular view of the city. Zadar sits mid-way up Croatia’s Dalmatian coast, facing the islands of Ugijan and Pašman. The old town lies on a peninsula, beyond which lies the more modern and economic hub of the city. The old town is paved with gleaming white stone first laid by the Romans, and one can also see remnants from Zadar’s Venetian influence in the harbor area. Zadar is a popular local tourist destination for yachting and water sports, and offers numerous cultural and artistic events throughout the year.

Students will have the chance to see many of Zagrebs attractions - both old and new - including the Old Town Gate, the new Museum of Contemporary Art, the traditional Dolac Market, and the Strossmayer šetalište (a popular promenade offering stunning views over the city rooftops).

The Freie Universität Berlin European Studies Program (FU-BEST) was specifically created by one of Germany’s top universities to offer North American and other international students cultural and business courses focusing on Germany and its role in Europe. What is unique about this program is that it is primarily offered in English, and on the North American calendar (as opposed to many other German universities which operate on a different academic calendar). All students are required to take a German language course, and depending on their level they will follow a regular (3-4 credit for beginners) or intensive (6-8 for non-beginners) credit option. They then select 2-4 culture options to round out their academic schedule.

s p r i n g • f a l l • SUMMER Students will take the train north from Berlin to the Baltic Sea town of Stralsund, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Founded in 1234, the town’s Gothic brick architecture is best represented in the tower of Saint Mary’s Church, which between 1549 and 1647 was the tallest building in the world. A climb to the top offers beautiful views of the Insel Rugen (the biggest island in Germany) and the Baltic Sea coast. On the Insel Rugen is the city of Binz (itself a UNESCO World Heritage Site), which is home to long, sandy beaches, diverse landscape, and scenic parks. This trip is a relaxing, atypical region of Germany that is still relatively hidden from foreign visitors.

Intercultural Exchange with Hungarian Students API students in Budapest have the exciting opportunity to participate in Corvinus University’s Tandem Partners Program. This option facilitates intercultural exchange by matching full-time Hungarian students with recently arrived study abroad students. It is a program with mutual benefits! The local Hungarian students are eager to share the Budapest they know so well with their API Tandem Partner, and the API students are encouraged to integrate with local students and learn more about Hungarian life, both inside and out of the university setting. With help from the U.S. Embassy, Corvinus University has also established an “American Corner” - a center on campus where students can go for academic support, study/computer areas, and American-style entertainment!

“When I was deciding where to study abroad, I knew I wanted something different, something outside of the norm of Spain, France, or the UK. API’s Budapest program appealed to me, and I was not disappointed in the least! It turned out to have all the allure, history, and charm of a Paris or Barcelona, but at half the cost! There was never a shortage of things to do or see in the city when I was not in class! The international program at the University was made up of students from all over the world, including Germany, France, Turkey, and even as far as Mongolia, and I enjoyed the multicultural class discussions that took place and enabled me to get a truly global perspective on various topics during my time there. I’d recommend Budapest to anyone interested in studying abroad!” - Eric P. 47

spring Prague is and has been one of the most beautiful European cities since the Middle Ages. It is known as the “City of 100 Towers,” “Heart of Europe” and “Golden Prague.” In the 18th century, six independent towns were incorporated into the city making up today’s quarters. Because the city stayed relatively untouched by the wars of the 20th century, much of its historic architecture remains, with styles ranging from Art Nouveau to Baroque, Renaissance, Cubist, Gothic, Neo-Classical and Ultra-Modern.

Szen t en d re

fall This 12th century baroque town has inspired artists for centuries. In 1690, when the Turks invaded Belgrade, more than 6,000 Serbian residents fled to Szentendre and settled there. This gave it a unique Balkan feel with its cobblestone roads and red-tiled roofs. Today, the town is famous for its many museums, including the open air museum showing Hungarians’ way of life in centuries past.

Students select the majority of their classes from the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences and may ask for special permission to complete a course in another department of the university that offers courses in English. The IPHSS courses are generally attended by American and other international students. Most courses taught in the IPHSS are equivalent to three semester credits. Not all classes taught outside of the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences are equivalent to three semester credits. Fall, Fall Extended, Spring Early Start, and Academic Year Programs include a two-week intensive Polish language course, during which students will be able to begin learning the language of their host culture. Students will earn 3 credits for this session.

ACADEMIC YEAR 2014-2015 Early September, 2014 - Late June, 2015

API students in Kraków complete courses offered in English by the Jagiellonian University of Kraków’s Interdisciplinary Program in Humanities and Social Sciences (IPHSS). The curriculum of the IPHSS program is designed to encourage an exchange of ideas and experience. The program focuses on the most significant issues of modern philosophy, anthropology, history, literary theories, art history and psychology. The main emphasis is placed on the modern and interdisciplinary character of 20th century cultural phenomena.

EXCURSIONS, Courses, Entry requirements, program dates and fees are subject to change. Students are encouraged to visit the API website for the most current information and official program dates for each session.

API students will indicate course choices on the application and then complete course registration upon arrival in Poland. When seeking approval for courses at their home university prior to departure, students should select courses only from the IPHSS course listings. The list of classes with Polish students that are taught in English is not released until after API students have arrived in Poland. As final course selection may vary from pre-approved courses, it is important for all students to take their advisor’s contact information with them to Kraków to ensure that the courses that they take in Kraków can successfully transfer back to their home university.

Academic Calendar & Fall Extended Program The academic calendar in Poland is different from that of most U.S. universities. The fall semester at Jagiellonian starts later than the average fall semester in the United States, and as such, the fall semester does not end until February. Classes are held throughout the month of January, and the first half of February is reserved for final exams. API, however, has made special arrangements on behalf of its fall students to complete coursework and exams in December, so as to not interfere with the American academic calendar in the spring. Students whose home university calendars are not in conflict with Jagiellonian’s regular exam schedule may decide to participate in the fall extended program and can remain in Kraków for the formal exam period. There is an increased total program cost for the extended fall program due to the added expenses incurred as a result of the longer duration (housing, transportation, insurance, etc.). transcripts API students receive their transcript from the Jagiellonian University of Kraków upon completion of their program.

I N T E R N S H I P O P P O R TU N I T I E S AT L OCA L MUS E UM There are limited internship opportunities in Kraków through the Galician Jewish Museum. If you are interested in working as a docent or with the museum’s marketing and communications department, please let your API Program Manager know as soon as possible.

INTERNATIONAL E XCURSION

fall Budapest is Hungary’s capital and largest city. The river Danube flows through Budapest on its way to the Black Sea, dividing the city in two. Buda and Pest were officially united in 1873. Hungary joined the European Union in 2004, but its capital retains an Eastern mystique, with twisted old streets lined with beautiful architecture. The language will fascinate visitors, the nightlife buzzes, the classical music scene is impressive, the Hungarian people are warm and welcoming and Budapest’s thermal baths are a “mustdo” for the traveler. Many tourists believe Budapest to be one of the hidden treasures of Europe.

C a n y o n s p r i n g • SUMMER The raft trip down the Dunajec river through the Pieniny Gorge and along the Polish-Slovak border is one of Poland’s greatest tourist attractions. The trip begins in Sromowce-Katy, and the entire five mile journey ends up in Szczawnica. A silent run, lasting 2-3 hours, reveals many wonders in an undisturbed environment, often offering close encounters with rare birds and animals. The towering cliffs and limestone rock formations offer an unforgettable experience in a pristine and wild environment. O s´ wie c i m

This was the site of the largest Nazi concentration camp, and during the years 1940-45 more than 1.5 million people lost their lives there. The Martyrdom Museum, included on the list of the UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites, was established in 1947 and provides visitors with the history and personal testimonies of the survivors of the camp.

INTERNATIONAL E XCURSION s p r i n g Prague is and has been one of the most beautiful European cities since the Middle Ages. It is known as the “City of 100 Towers,” “Heart of Europe” and “Golden Prague.” In the 18th century, six independent towns were incorporated into the city making up today’s quarters. Because the city stayed relatively untouched by the wars of the 20th century, much of its historic architecture remains, with styles ranging from Art Nouveau to Baroque, Renaissance, Cubist, Gothic, Neo-Classical and Ultra-Modern.

SUMMER Warsaw has been the capital of Poland since 1596 when, after the fire at the Wawel Castle in Kraków, the king’s residence, the royal court and the crown offices were moved to the extended Warsaw Royal Palace. The city was completely destroyed during World War II and painstakingly rebuilt by Varsovians based on old photographs, paintings and memories of residents. Today Warsaw is a bustling city, and the center of political, economical and cultural life in Poland.

S a l t Mine s p r i n g • f a l l • SUMMER The Wieliczka Salt Mine has been listed as a UNESCO monument since 1978. This 700 year-old mine attracts visitors from all over the world. Located just 15 km outside of Kraków, the salt mine (kopalnia soli) is still operating. Because the mine is renowned for the preservative qualities of its microclimate as well as for its health-giving properties, it also functions as an underground sanatorium where chronic allergies are treated. The most beautiful chamber is the Chapel of St. Kinga, which was voluntarily carved out between 1862-80. The floors, walls, chandeliers and banisters are all carved from salt. The bas-relief wall carvings depict scenes from the New Testament and display amazing dimension and realism. Z a k o p a ne

s p r i n g • f a l l • SUMMER Zakopane is a cozy village embedded in the Tatras, the highest mountain range of the Carpathians. This quaint town attracts over a million tourists a year, and is famous for its “góralski” (highland) culture and way of life. Moreover, Zakopane has left its mark on Polish culture due to the fact that many Polish artists, writers, and painters have been inspired by the village’s unique atmosphere.
