RIT Croatia Summer Program

RIT Croatia has developed several interesting, short, summer study abroad programs that provide students with academic, professional, and personal benefits. Studying abroad allows you to learn beyond the classroom and develop skills to be successful in a rapidly changing global society. Summer programs are also a little more relaxed than full-term study abroad opportunities. Programs available have been designed to help prospective students enjoy study abroad opportunities while reaching academic goals.
