RIT Croatia Summer Program

RIT Croatia Summer Programs – excellent opportunity to learn and explore Croatia and surrounding European countries

RIT Croatia has developed several interesting, short, summer study abroad programs which provide students with academic, professional, and personal benefits. Studying abroad gives you the opportunity to learn beyond the classroom and develop skills to be successful in a rapidly changing global society. Summer programs are also a little more relaxed than full-term study abroad opportunities. By participating in organized activities you will get immersed into local culture. Programs available have been designed to help prospective students enjoy study abroad opportunity, while reaching academic goals.
