Summer Program
Program Introduction
Although not required, it is highly encouraged that Flagship Scholars attend the Language & Culture in Salvador summer session to help improve their proficiency in preparation for the Capstone year.
During the Language & Culture in Salvador program, students will live in a 500-year-old city and UNESCO World Heritage site, built atop spectacular beachside cliffs that overlook the tropical coastline. While in Salvador, students will enjoy a unique opportunity to learn about intercultural communication and the local language, taught by either a UT professor or local instructors. Students will immerse themselves in the culture of the region via a homestay and enjoy the various festivals that take place in the month of June, featuring local music, food, religion, and Afro-Brazilian traditions.
Students live in home stays in areas relatively close to the school but distances vary. Homestay includes 3 meals per day. Students are required to live in program housing.
Please note - the overseas provider is requiring all students to be fully vaccinated in order to participate on the program.
