40 + Years of Service
Since 1964, UMAIE has offered unique opportunities for cross-cultural

study during January Term and starting in 2005, May/June Term. UMAIE,

a consortium of colleges and universities, cooperates to provide

the educational depth and resources necessary for an intercultural

curriculum. This year UMAIE offers courses in many locations around

the world including: The Americas (North and South), Africa, Asia and

the Pacific Rim and Europe (Western, Central, Eastern and Southern).

The comprehensive fee includes round-trip air transportation from

Minneapolis-St. Paul to the course location; airport transfers; visas

(where required for U.S. citizens who meet the visa application deadline

and have the correct accompanying documentation); transportation

to most course activities while abroad; lodging, primarily in twin or

triple rooms in hotels (or where indicated - pensions, university

dormitories, or family homes); continental breakfast daily (exceptions

noted on individual course descriptions) and other meals as indicated;

tickets for required theatrical and cultural performances; planned

excursions; and administrative costs (however, individual institutions

may assess additional charges). All rail passes, entrances and local

airfares are based on utilization of youth rates (25 years or under)

where possible and any participants who do not qualify for such

discounts are responsible for all supplemental costs.
