    The University of Georgia (Athens, GA) is pleased to offer a 3-week
    study abroad & cultural experience course in Armenia for Maymester,
    May 13-June 3, 2007. UGA Study Abroad in Armenia provides
    opportunities to young people across US to gain a genuine study abroad
    experience in Armenia and gain transferable academic credit from the
    University of Georgia.

    UGA in Armenia gives an opportunity to learn about the socio-economic
    and political developments in Armenia and the Region since its
    Independence. Additionally, the students will be exposed to the rich
    cultural, religious, and historical heritage of Armenia.

    The group will be accommodated in Yerevan (Yerevan State University's
    Foreign Guest House) and will make daily field trips throughout
    Armenia to visit major businesses (Yerevan Brandy Company, diamond
    processing, wine production, hand made carpets and rugs, high
    technologies), major political and international organizations
    (Government, Parliament, EU, UN, US Embassy) and sights of historical
    significance.

    Daily activities will be enriched through evening social gatherings
    and cultural events as well as exploration of Yerevan's more than 200
    open air terrace cafés, authentic ethnic restaurants and
    discos. Spring is the perfect season for relaxing while listening to
    Armenian, jazz, and classical music in Yerevan's many renowned concert
    halls as well as the monumental Cascade.

    The University of Georgia is the flagship land-grant University of the
    State of Georgia and allows non-UGA students to pay in-state tuition
    for UGA study abroad programs. Students participating at UGA sponsored
    study abroad program will be able to get transferable credits from
    UGA.

    There are several scholarships available for students of Armenian
    ethnicity. Contact Birth-Right-Armenia for details: Linda Yepoyan,
