Until now the USAC program was limited to American university students. With the support of the city of San Sebastián and the provincial government, the USAC will accept European students as well in its San Sebastián program beginning in the fall of 1990. New Summer Program in Bayonne The University Studies Abroad Consortium has established a new four week long summer program in the French Basque city of Bayonne. The program will offer intensive courses in French and Basque, Basque culture, and French literature. The group will leave the U.S. on June 27, 1990 and spend three days in Paris before traveling to Bayonne. Field trips are planned to the Spanish Basque Country. There will be an overnight outing to St. Jean Pied de Port and surrounding villages. The program ends on July 28. Bayonne is a city of approximately 65,000 situated on the Basque coast just north of Biarritz. Students may opt to live in the university dormitories or with families. |
