CUNY - College of Staten Island: Australia - Arts and Sciences at University of Canberra (Exchange)

Motivated CUNY students can study "Down Under" in Australia, a fascinating country with flora and fauna unique to this continent, at the University of Canberra in the national capital of Canberra. Founded in 1968, the University of Canberra offers a broad range of academic programs on a 200-acre traditional campus located in the Bruce section of Canberra. The campus is conveniently situated near the town center of Belconnen (a 10-minute walk from campus) which offers a full range of shopping and entertainment services. Canberra is located near the Brindabella Ranges, approximately 93 miles inland from the coast.  Canberra offers a four-season climate, with hot, dry summers and mild winters relative to New York City.  The seasons are reversed from those in North America, with winters occurring June to August (with low temperatures 30-35 degrees F) and summers December to February (with high temperatures 75-80 degrees F). 
The program is open to CUNY students only, who have at least 12 credits at the time of application, who are in good academic and student standing, and who have a minimum 2.75 GPA.  These exchange programs require a certain level of maturity, independence, seriousness of purpose, and an ability to adapt to new environmental and academic conditions.
