Internationalize your degree by taking Summer Abroad Courses!
Summer Abroad courses enrich students’ academic experience as they offer unique education settings outside Canada. Take advantage of the opportunity to study in a country that has a special connection to the subject matter while fulfilling your academic requirements.
A Few Quick Facts:
- Courses take place during the Summer Term at York University (May-August)
- Relatively small classes (range from 15 to a maximum of 25 students per course)
- All classes, with the exception of language courses, are taught in English
- Prerequisites may be required for a number of courses
- Credits and grades are added directly to your transcript and can count toward your degree at York
