Below you'll find a list of short-term programs offered by Universities we have exchange agreements with. The way that these programs work is that the host university will charge you for the cost of the program; what's included in that cost might vary by program, so please look at their websites carefully. Hamline charges a fee for students to do these programs; here is what that fee costs.
You'll need to fill out our Hamline application first, before applying with the host university. Some of these programs require a nomination from our University. Please make sure you fill out our application well before the host university's deadline.
