Short Term Programs
Short-term programs are usually during the summer months, maymester, around spring break or during winter break. A Maymester program is led by two PC faculty members. These programs typically travel in the month of May, or during spring break or winter break. Your group will likely consist of fellow PC students, and you will be taught by PC faculty. Some students also have the option to get involved in internships abroad or volunteer programs abroad. The length of these programs is typically between 4-12 weeks.
