Summer Off-Campus Programs Summer programs may not be eligible for financial aid depending upon the student’s circumstances. Humanities European Study Tour Milligan students may earn four hours of humanities credit by participating in a one-hour preparation course offered in the spring semester and a multi-week tour of Europe offered each summer. One or more of Milligan’s humanities professors will lead the tour, which visits several European countries. Visits are made to sites of both historical and cultural significance. In addition to travel, students attend lectures and discussions, complete writing assignments, and fulfill other responsibilities outlined by the tour professor. The preparation (HUMN 200P) and tour (HUMN 200T) may be taken in place of HUMN 202. Prerequisites include HUMN 101 and HUMN 102. PCCIS Summer in London (Private College Consortium for International Studies) In the summer program, students have the choice of signing up for one, two, or three sessions of classes or Session One plus an Internship, for a total study abroad experience lasting anywhere from 25 to 88 days. Classes are held on the campus of Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, part of the University of London. Stateside faculty from consortium member institutions travel to London and teach courses in their specialties. The “British Life and Culture” Lecture Series supplements each course and provides the students with a greater understanding of British history and civilization. Students earn 3 credit hours per session and 3-6 credit hours for the Internship. Oxford Summer Programme (OSP) The Oxford Summer Programme (OSP) is a program of the CCCU and Wycliffe Hall, Oxford. The program is designed for students wishing to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the relationship between Christianity and the development of the West and who wish to do specialized work under expert Oxford academics in the areas of history, religious studies, political theory, philosophy, English, and history of science. The Programme is structured for rising college sophomores, juniors, seniors, graduate and seminary students, non-traditional students, teachers, and those enrolled in continuing-education programs. International Business Institute (IBI) Students pursuing a major in business administration may select an emphasis in international business by participating in a ten-week academic program abroad through Milligan’s affiliation with the International Business Institute (endorsed by the CCCU). Completion of this emphasis requires the student to attend the Institute during a summer session following completion of the required core courses at Milligan College. A student’s course of study can often be designed so that graduation is possible following seven semesters of study at Milligan College in addition to the summer Institute. Students pursuing the international business emphasis are strongly encouraged to demonstrate competency in a foreign language through, at least, the intermediate level. Participation in the IBI includes the following required courses: BADM 339 Global Marketing (3 hrs) BADM 390 Global Business Management and Strategy (3 hrs) ECON 331 Comparative Economic Systems (3 hrs) ECON 350 International Trade and Finance (3 hrs)
