SUMMER STUDY ABROAD PROGRAMSThere are
many programs for summer. Below mentioned are some of
the universities that have high range of summer study
abroad programs.
Marquette University
Marquette University, private,
coeducational institution in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The
university is affiliated with the Society of Jesus
(Jesuits). It is named after Jacques Marquette, a
17th-century French Jesuit missionary and explorer of
the American Midwest. In 1848 John Henni, Milwaukee’s
first Roman Catholic bishop, invited the Jesuits to
establish a college there. Marquette College was
chartered in 1864 and began classes in 1881. The
charter was amended in 1907, giving the school full
university status, and the present name was adopted.
The university comprises colleges of arts and
sciences, business administration, communication,
health sciences, nursing, and engineering; schools of
dentistry, education, law, and a graduate school; and
programs in dental hygiene, medical laboratory
technology, and physical therapy. Continuing
education, part-time studies, and summer classes also
are offered. The university enrolls about 11,000
students. Associate’s, bachelor’s, master’s, doctoral,
and professional degrees are conferred.
Marquette University is home to more than 30 research
centers, institutes, and laboratories, including the
Center for the Study of Entrepreneurship, the Aspin
Center for Government, the Institute of Urban Life,
the Center for Industrial Processes and Productivity,
the Water Quality Center, the Materials Science and
Technology Center, and the Microwave Engineering
Research Laboratory.
Colorado State University
Colorado State University, public,
coeducational institution in Fort Collins, Colorado.
The school was founded as the Agricultural College of
Colorado in 1870, six years before Colorado became a
state (see Colorado: Statehood). In 1879 the Colorado
legislature designated the school a federal land-grant
college. That year the institution also established
the Colorado Agricultural Experiment Station, a center
for agricultural research and education, and the
Cooperative Extension, a statewide
continuing-education program. Today both programs
remain in operation. The school adopted the name
Colorado State University in 1957.
Colorado State University confers bachelor’s,
master’s, and doctoral degrees in the arts and
sciences, humanities, the health professions,
engineering, and environmental design. The school’s
programs in agricultural science, forestry,
biochemistry, and business are particularly strong.
Colorado State University’s main campus covers 170
hectares (421 acres). The school also maintains
Pingree Park, a 482-hectare (1,192-acre) park that is
used for conferences, environmental education, and
summer camps. The park is located 89 km (55 mi) west
of Fort Collins and borders Rocky Mountain National
Park. Other facilities located off the main campus
include an environmental learning center and
agricultural research and development center.
Graduates of Colorado State University include
Colorado Governor Roy Romer, astronaut Mary Clever,
and actor Keith Carradine.
