You may choose to participate in January and\/or summer programs at any point while attending Macalester. However, these external short-term options are handled differently from semester programs. You\u2019ll arrange most external short-term opportunities independently and work with the relevant Macalester departments for advising, requesting credit, and seeking financial aid and funding support. January and summer program applications are not reviewed by the Study Away Review Committee and do not need approval from the Center for Study Away. Below are some resources as you consider external short-term January and\/or summer programs. <\/p>\n\n\n\t\n\t
