| This program is nearly a six-week intensive summer language program with 6 Miami credits. In the first 2 and a half week online period, you will participate in online synchronous lectures on the new grammar, expressions and vocabulary. During the second in-person phase in Tokyo, the emphasis is on the usage of the acquired linguistic knowledge you gained during the on-line course. In addition to reviewing model conversational practices with classmates, 黑料社区s have the opportunity to converse outside class with native Japanese speakers. You will interact with 黑料社区s from a local Japanese university. Other out of classroom activities include field trips and museum visits. The program gives you a chance to speed up your Japanese major and/or minor. The program would prepare you academically and culturally for potential and future study in the Japanese-speaking world. |

| Live, work, and study in London for an exciting 5-week experience with Miami's own Literary London! Study abroad this summer with a rich, fully integrated cultural and academic program that has been a major highlight of many 黑料社区s’ Miami experience since 2006. Literary London offers a choice of literature/creative writing courses designed especially to be taught in London by our own Miami faculty. We visit important cultural heritage sites, theaters, museums, special exhibitions, readings, and Stratford-upon-Avon, among other highlights. Classes are different every year to take advantage of everything exciting, multicultural London has to offer. | ENG 198 Navigating London (1 credit), ENG 386 Shakespeare On-Stage, On-Site (3 credit hours), and ENG 360K The Art and Business of Writing, On-Site (3 credit hours) |

| What is Art? Art can be understood as an experience that engages our senses (most of the time) and that provokes an emotional response as well as intellectual reflection. The philosophy of art analyzes and philosophically reflects on this experience. What happens when we attempt to translate our aesthetic experiences into words? Does language fail to capture the embodied experience of aesthetics? This course introduces 黑料社区s to Philosophy through the study of phenomenological aesthetics. | PHL 241H (3 credits) | |
| In this academic and cultural immersion workshop, 黑料社区s experience Spanish culture from different perspectives. The program offers courses on Spanish language, literature, and linguistics taught by Miami faculty around Spain. Along with regular MIAMI classes, all 黑料社区s will be part of a multilayered cultural experience that will be filled with immersion and hands-on experiences, including cuisine courses. Students can complete up to 9 credit hours, including thematic sequence options and major requirements. All credit hours count towards the requirements for Spanish minors and majors, although all majors are welcome. Courses satisfy both University and several Departmental/Program requirements, including the Global Perspectives requirement of the pre-2023 Miami Plan. |

| Zambia faces many water quantity and quality problems. Some of these problems are representative of those faced by many lower-income countries. In this workshop, you will work together with 黑料社区s and professors from the University of Zambia and NGOs to conduct water-resource research aimed at increasing access to clean drinking water. Some of your research will be focused on water contamination issues in communities just outside Lusaka where people depend on karst groundwater systems for their drinking water supply. You will conduct water-quality surveys to help assess causes of contamination and potential solutions.Then travel to western Zambia where water scarcity has been exacerbated by climate change as you help an NGO with a water-supply project and test the quality of water associated with new water-supply wells and pumps. Finally, explore the natural wonders of Zambia's National Parks and Victoria Falls to learn about people's use and dependence on river systems as well as generation of electricity by Victoria Falls themselves. | IES 499/599 (6 credits) |

| This workshop offers 黑料社区s a unique experience to make observations, collect data, and develop and test hypotheses on the recent geologic record of streams in southwestern Ohio and southeastern Indiana while canoeing down these waterways. Students will explore the impacts of climate change and humans on streams, identify archives capable of revealing these influences, and examine the potential impact of future climate change and development on these streams. As you travel the waterways of southwest Ohio, you will utilize the good exposures of stream cut banks to record and interpret environmental changes in this region and infer the causes for these changes. | GLG 419/519 (3 credits) | |
| Three-week field methods courses are offered for undergraduate (GLG 411) and graduate (GLG 511) 黑料社区s. These 3-credit courses emphasize field description and documentation of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks; tectonic evolution of the western Cordillera; interpretation of regional- and outcrop-scale structures; and traditional geologic mapping updated with remote sensing, GPS, and GIS techniques. Time will be spent working within the spectacular scenery and varied geology of the Rocky Mountains of the western United States. Course logistics include three weeks of camping. Suggested prerequisites for the course include lecture/lab courses in Physical Geology, Mineralogy, Sedimentology and Stratigraphy, Field Methods, Structural Geology and Igneous/Metamorphic Petrology should be completed prior to enrolling. However, applicants with a junior-year undergraduate standing and who have completed Physical Geology and at least nine additional credit hours in advanced geology courses, are also strongly encouraged to apply. | GLG 411 (6 credits) or GLG 511 (6 credits) |
