All global UGRAD Program participants will be enrolled full-time in
undergraduate course work chosen from the institution's (US) existing
curriculum to allow students ample opportunity for ongoing interaction with

research and writing, critical thinking, time management, note taking, and
studying for and taking tests. Participants will live on campus with
American peers.

Students will also be provided with opportunities to participate in up to
ten hours of community service per semester. Additionally, an internship
component will be offered to all academic-year participants during the
academic component of the program. Internships will be related to each
