Dr. Kari Richtsmeier introduces the summer programme, exchange programme and graduate programme to UIC students
The summer programme at Hamline, a four-credit programme titled “Business across Cultures” running from 8 July to 5 August according to Dr. Richtsmeier, will educate students on the exotic culture covering business strategies and planning courses, English training, field trips, and other city tour activities.
Dr. Richtsmeier then introduced the exchange programme, “For the first semester of the 2013-2014 school year, Hamline will be accepting three exchange students from UIC.” The exchange students will be eligible to apply for four out of the 42 major and 36 minor courses. Each of the courses available is valued at four credits.
Besides, Dr. Richtsmeier also proposed that the graduating students interested in Hamline’s graduate programmes should apply as early as possible, as early application can grant graduate assistantships.
