2013 Bahrom International Program Scholarship Competition
Funding available for up to 3 returning men and women students with a minimum 2.75 GPA to attend the Bahrom International Program at Seoul Women's University June 30-July 26.
Students will earn 3 elective credits studying Korean culture in English, which can fulfill Berry's 5th Humanities requirement. All participants are matched with a Korean partner, and the half-foreign and half-Korean group allows participants to experience constant interaction with Korean culture. Students learn about Korean politics, economy, and so on. Outside of the classroom, participants will experience Korean culture through field trips and hands-on activities, such as making Korean pottery, playing traditional instruments, and making Korean food. Check out this year's schedule!
