Study/Service Programs
The study/service programs of St. Olaf combine an enriched learning experience through immersion in a local culture with the singular opportunity to make a direct contribution to the community through a service project coordinated by the host institution. Through a creative integration of service and study, participants earn three or four credits for a semester program and four or five credits for a semester and Interim program. The student develops a course prospectus for each credit; approval is contingent upon appropriateness to the student’s general program at St. Olaf and to the resources of the host institution.
