Birthright Armenia Study Abroad

Birthright Armenia is currently working to promote a new, semester-long (Fall 2007) study abroad program in Armenia, run under the auspices of California State University, Fresno (CSUF) in conjunction with Yerevan State University (YSU) in Yerevan, Armenia. The program is open to all interested students. During the semester abroad, students will be registered through the Division of Continuing and Global Education at CSUF and qualify for 15 units of CSUF credit, transferable to the university of your choice in the US and Canada. Upon satisfactory completion of the coursework, the CSUF course credit and grade equivalency of each course taken in Yerevan will be assigned to the student’s CSUF transcript.
