The environment is a local and global issue. Tomorrow's environmental professionals will need to cross borders and communicate with a wide range of people to achieve their goals. This program is geared to help train those professionals today.
In Bishkek, you will find a highly personalized and customizable program. Although one of our most popular locations, class sizes in Bishkek are the smallest. You will be able to focus on your language skills through personalized attention and optional, specialized language electives. Peer tutoring and a highly integrated cultural program focusing on Central Asian cultures will take your learning outside the classroom as can optional travel opportunities and active, recomended home stays.
Irkutsk provides an exceptionally intensive and immersive experience. RSL study is combined with up to three electives or an environmental internship, giving you the opportunity to use your Russian skills in more practical settings and build vocabulary. Homestays are available, active, and encouraged. In Irkutsk, English is less prevalent than in major cities and the slower pace of life means that strong, local, Russian-speaking connections can be made through SRAS-supported peer tutoring and through university sports groups and interest clubs.
In Kyiv, you'll find an exceptionally strong array of internships as well as our most inclusive pricing. Kyiv is currently the focus of strong international attention. Many businesses, NGOs, museums, and media organizations there are open to foreign interns. In Kyiv, you are provided with an included homestay, two meals a day, and even a subway transport card, meaning that your expenses once abroad kept to a minimum. Further, semester terms in Kyiv are slightly shorter, so program costs are lower as well.
Moscow, Russia's political and economic capital, is home to not only most of Russia's federal government, but also most of Russia's major businesses and the Russian headquarters of international corporations. The city overflows with NGOs, museums, and cultural institutions. All of this offers students an extraordinary opportunity to make potential professional contacts, understand Russia's current development trajectory, and to take in as much Russian culture as possible in one location. Moscow is also Europe's largest city and a major regional hub for all of Eurasia. It is a diverse city, with cultural infrastructure serving a diverse population. In Moscow, you'll explore all of this as part of your guided cultural program.
