OFF-CAMPUS STUDY PROGRAMS
University Programs
• Semester in Europe—The Lee University Semester in Europe program
presently provides transcultural experiences for students who are interested
in studying in England or Germany. Students may participate in these oncein-a-lifetime
opportunities to study in Cambridge, England, during the
spring or spend a summer semester in Rudersberg, Germany. All students
who apply must have a 2.8 GPA. As part of these programs, students travel
to various cultural, historic, and religious sites in Europe. Plays, concerts,
and interesting lectures add a rich dimension to the lives of the students
who participate.
• Israel Study Tour—The School of Religion offers a study tour to Israel
every spring semester during the spring break. The study tour provides an
opportunity for students to experience the land of the Bible. The trip to Israel
is preceded by weekly lectures which review the major contours of biblical
history and geography. The weekly lectures culminate in a 10–12 day tour
which visits the major sites of biblical events. Sites related to the life and ministry
of Jesus Christ are given priority, but places of significance in both the
Old Testament and the New Testament are visited. The Israel Study Tour
may be taken for university credit by registering for the tour in the School of
Religion during the fall semester and enrolling in BIB 398: Historical
Geography and Archaeology of the Bible during the spring semester. A similar
program is also offered during the summer.
• Summer of Study Medical Missions—Each summer students majoring
in pre-medicine, pre-dentistry, and pre-pharmacology participate in a
Summer of Study Medical Mission (SOS) which includes medical service in
third-world clinics. Medical doctors, usually Lee alumni, accompany the
team and direct the medical procedures. With a strong evangelistic emphasis,
the SOS program gives students practical experience while they earn 12
hours credit in parasitology, medical entomology, and tropical medicine.
• Summer New England Tour—The program, scheduled for the May
term of summer school, consists of two weeks in the classroom at Lee
University and two weeks traveling in the New England region. In New
England, the group has the opportunity to visit historical, cultural, and literary
sites in New Bedford, Plymouth, Boston, Salem, Concord, and
Amherst, Massachusetts. Through this four-week experience students may
