<p>My S is an International Studies major and will need to do a semester/summer abroad for his degree. He's on Air Force ROTC scholarship, so he would lose leadership positions which could hurt his chances of getting a pilot slot if he leaves for a semester. So, he is left with study abroad during the summer, and it has to be at least 14 weeks (in other words, <em>all</em> summer).</p>
<p>His focus is politics/diplomacy with an area focus of North Africa/Middle East (his interest is N. Africa). His language study is in French. I've done a lot of searching online and S has talked to the Study Abroad office at school, but I'm wondering if anyone here knows of any programs we should check into. There are a few 6 week programs available and he can do one of those plus something else if needed. He'd really like to get some immersion in French, so he could spend part of the time in France, but he'd really like to stick with N. Africa.</p>
