The University of Georgia (Athens, GA) is pleased to offer a 3-week
study abroad & cultural experience course in Armenia in Summer
2006. UGA Study Abroad in Armenia provides opportunities to young
people across US to gain a genuine study abroad experience in Armenia
and gain transferable academic credit from the University of Georgia.
UGA in Armenia gives an opportunity to learn about the socio-economic
and political developments in Armenia and the Region since its
Independence. Additionally, the students will be exposed to the rich
cultural, religious and historical heritage of Armenia.
The group will be accommodated in Yerevan and will make daily field
trips throughout Armenia to visit major businesses (Yerevan Brandy
Company, diamond processing, wine production, hand made carpets and
rugs, high technologies), major political and international
organizations (Government, Parliament, EU, UN, US Embassy) and sights
of historical significance.
The University of Georgia is the flagship land-grant University of the
State of Georgia and allows non-UGA students to pay in-state tuition
for UGA study abroad programs. Students participating at UGA sponsored
study abroad program will be able to get transferable credits from
UGA.
There are several scholarships available for students of Armenian
ethnicity. Contact Birth-Right-Armenia for details: Linda Yepoyan,
