explore the American WestEager to learn more about this land of contrasting cultures and puzzling contradictions? Spend five weeks — June 22, 2002 through July 27, 2002 — at the University of Denver International Summer Institute in a mid-summer program especially designed for international and American students from age 17-25.

The program begins with four weeks of interactive classroom instruction
provided by University of Denver faculty and experts from throughout the
region. Conducted in English, the classes run from four to five hours, Mondays through Thursdays. On Fridays, students enjoy a field trip that supports the week’s classroom learning.

From 9 a.m.-noon daily students will be engaged in cultural and linguistic
exchange. International Students will attend English as a Second Language, cross-cultural and communication skills training through DU’s English Language Center. (A TOEFL in the range of 450 or 133 CBT is highly recommended.) Domestic students will attend cross-cultural and communication skills training sessions along with international students, as well as research sessions on language and culture.

From 1:30-3:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday, classes will be devoted to exploring the facets of American culture that make it unique.

The final week will be spent on the road, experiencing past and present life in the Rocky Mountain region.
