Asia - Study Abroad Term
    |
| What is it like to live with a Thai family and study at an Asian university, to drive through the lush vegetation of a rainforest, to chat with a Buddhist monk at his monastery, or to attend church in the Philippines? |

Complementary to the Western European Study Abroad experience, another term of the Liberal Arts Program is devoted to travel and study in the developing world, usually in South East Asia. This two-month long study abroad program includes significant cultural exposure, as well as formal study of history, culture, and contemporary social and religious development in the Philippines, Malaysia, and Thailand. This term places the study of the Western tradition, a major part of the SSU curriculum, in a truly global perspective. Accommodations vary from being billeted with a Thai family to staying in guesthouses, hostels, and hotels. Meals are generally provided by hosts, or eaten in various cultural restaurants. |
