The Armenian Studies Program has organized a semester study program in Yerevan, Armenia, beginning on Feb. 14, 2005. The program is designed to introduce students to Armenian language, history, art and contemporary events.

Five courses will be taught by faculty from Yerevan State University: Armenian language (4 units); Armenian art and architecture (3 units); Armenia today (3 units); Armenian studies (3 units); and independent study (2 units).

To be eligible for the program, students must be college juniors, seniors or graduates who have maintained a minimum of a 2.75 grade point average.

The fee for the 15 units is $2,250. And additional health insurance fee is approximately $160. Room and board, airfare, transportation and any additional costs are the responsibility of the student.
