Summer Study Abroad Programs
From the Fords Down Under summer study abroad blog.
If you wish to study abroad during the summer, follow the procedures outlined in the Haverford College Course Catalog, and then contact your Dean to review these procedures. Summer Study Abroad is not under the oversight of the International Academic Programs office. The application for Summer School Credit can be found at the Registrar's website.
In most cases, Haverford will award credit for courses taken at any of the summer programs on the semester/year Approved List. Students must apply for summer school credit in advance. Credits cannot be awarded retroactively.

Located on the beautiful Mediterranean Sea, Haifa is marked by an exciting multiculturalism. Long known for its ethnic and religious tolerance, life in the city offers its inhabitants and visitors alike a mosaic of cultural events: concerts, theater, museums, clubs, cafes and beaches along the golden Mediterranean coastline.
Popular tourist sites such as the Sea of Galilee, Golan Heights, Nazareth, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem are all within reach of a bus ride. We invite students to come to the University of Haifa to expand their knowledge and explore an Israel they never knew existed!
