Program Details
| Overview |
This program is administered by the Council on International Educational Exchange (CIEE), a 200-university academic consortium. Purdue University has been a member of CIEE since 1972. At CIEE St. Petersburg you can improve your Russian through intensive Russian language training, explore Russian culture through excursions in and outside of the city, and participate in a rich program of extracurricular activities. CIEE offers two summer program options in St. Petersburg: - Russian Area Studies
- Russian Language
For more program information, please visit the
program sponsor's website (CIEE).
|
| Eligibility |
The program is open to Purdue students who have completed at least two semesters of university study by the start of the program. Successful candidates will demonstrate academic success, maturity and a desire to experience another culture.
Due to the length of the Russian visa process, CIEE requires students to have a valid passport in order to be accepted. Russian immigration requires that this passport is valid for 18 months beyond the end date of the program. No previous Russian language study is required for the summer programs.
GPA Requirement: 2.5 on a 4.0 scale
Language Requirement: 0-4 Sem Russian

Housing and most meals (two meals daily and three on weekends) are included in the program fee. Students are responsible for weekday lunches. The University cafeteria offers very reasonably priced meals. CIEE also offers a limited number of rooms at a hostel in downtown St. Petersburg. The hostel is located within a 5-minute walk of Nevskiy Prospekt and a 10-minute bus to the CIEE Study Center or a 20-minute walk. Students are placed in a double room with another CIEE participant. Students are responsible for all meals. |
