Want to travel, earn credits and have the summer of a lifetime?
If a full term exchange or a field school doesn’t fit your schedule, a Summer School at one of CapU's international exchange partners could be perfect for you!
Spend a few weeks immersed in a new culture, make friends from around the world and experience learning in a whole new way — all while earning 3.0–6.0 CapU credits for the same tuition you’d normally pay at home.
Your next summer could be more than just a break — it could be an adventure that boosts your education, cultural competence and global connections.
