Yugoslavia Practicum

Sponsored by the ASU Russian & East European Studies Consortium
and ASU Summer Sessions

Visit the Vojvodina region of modern Yugoslavia

• Where:   Set on the beautiful Danube River, Novi Sad is the capital and leading city of the Yugoslav region of Vojvodina. Long a crossroads linking the Habsburg and Ottoman Balkans, Novi Sad is today a modern city located midway between the Yugoslav capital of Belgrade and the Hungarian border. The Practicum is organized in conjunction with Azbukum, an internationally recognized program providing summer language training and cultural excursions for European and American students. Azbukum is a program of the University of Novi Sad, one of the foremost universities of Yugoslavia. Because of its convenient location within easy driving distance of Belgrade and its "old world charm" alongside the Danube, Novi Sad is an ideal location offering a friendly and safe social environment for CLI students wishing to advance their Serbian/Croatian language abilities.
• When:  The three-week practicum in Novi Sad is held in August immediately following the annual Critical Languages Institute at ASU. This year's session lasts from August 5 through August 23, 2002.
• The Program:  Utilizing instructors from the internationally recognized Azbukum program at the University of Novi Sad, this three-week Practicum will expand language skills and introduce participants to the culture of modern Yugoslavia. Formal classroom language instruction each morning is combined with local excursions to historic sites. Students participating in the three-week Novi Sad Practicum will receive two ASU credits (FLA 494).
• Eligibility:  The Novi Sad Practicum is open to all ASU and non-ASU undergraduate and graduate students, as well as non-degree students. Normally, participants in the Novi Sad Practicum will have completed at least one year of intensive Serbian/Croatian language study at ASU in the eight-week Critical Languages Institute. The deadline for applications, to be accompanied by a non-refundable $300 deposit, is February 5, 2002. Applications received after that date will be considered on a space available basis. Graduate students are encouraged to seek NSEP or ACLS fellowship funding for advanced Serbian/Croatian language training in both the CLI and Novi Sad Practicum. Financial aid may be used for this overseas study. Students should apply through their own university financial aid office.
• Living Accommodations:  Students are housed in the modern student dormitories of the Universit of Novi Sad. Meals may be secured either in the dormitory or in convenient restaurants located immediately adjacent to the university housing. The cost of meals is included in the estimated cost of the program.
• Estimated Cost:$1200, includes program fees, housing, meals, excursions, and local round trip transport from the Belgrade international airport to Novi Sad. Not included: Round trip airfare from Phoenix to Belgrade (APEX fares run approximately $1300), passport costs, books, and personal expenses. Tuition for this two-credit practicum has been waived by ASU Summer Sessions. Note the suggestions regarding financial aid above under "Eligibility."
