IN A FLASH: Greetings from Brazil!

A video team from Â鶹ÊÓƵ interviewed students in the American Academy program in Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil.

The team in is Brazil, along with university leaders to meet with the administrators, faculty and students and to attend the Winter Commencement ceremonies on Friday night. 

The American Academy (AA) is a dual-enrollment program offered jointly by Â鶹ÊÓƵ and the Pontifical Catholic University of Paraná (PUCPR), located in Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil.

Launched in July 2018, the program allows students to complete their first two years of undergraduate study in Brazil at the PUCPR campus, taking Â鶹ÊÓƵ classes taught in English by Â鶹ÊÓƵ faculty members, and earning academic credit from both universities simultaneously.  

At the end of the two years, students can earn a Â鶹ÊÓƵ Associate of Science degree and can then choose whether to finish their bachelor’s degree in the United States at Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s Kent Campus, or in Brazil at PUCPR.
