Here is the latest information on the KU-Zagreb U-Matica 2000 Summer
Language and Culture Program in Zagreb, Croatia.

The University of Kansas, through the sponsorship of the Department
of
Slavic Languages and Literatures and the Office of Study Abroad will
be
sending a group of students to the Zagreb University Summer School of
Croatian Language and Culture. While still tentative at this point,
depending on the enrollment of a minimum number of eight students, it
now
appears fairly certain there will be enough students, judging by the
interest expressed thus far.

Intensive language instruction will be held in Zagreb, July 1 - 28, 5
hours daily, M-F, for a total of 100 hours. Additionally, after the
conclusion of the Zagreb School, in order to meet the usual
requirements
for American summer study abroad programs, a ten-day culture and
study
tour on the coast, July 29 - August 7, will be conducted.  The tour will
include 2 hours of language instruction daily, which makes a total of 120
hours of formal language classroom study for the program.  The additional
days, plus the 20 hours of instruction make the programs participants
eligible for outside funding such as FLAS, NSEP and student loans.  The
language will be taught at several levels, from beginning to advanced. The
teaching in Zagreb will be done by Zagreb U. instructors and on the tour
by the KU group leader. The total duration of the program in Croatia will
be 5 weeks, 3 days.

The cultural content will consist of numerous visits to museums, galleries
of art and other cultural institutions, as well as attendance at concerts,
theater performances, the Smotra folklora folk festival and weekend
study trips outside of Zagreb.  Full weekend tours will visit Istria and
Plitvica Lakes National Park in Lika.  The tour of the Croatian coast will
visit a number of places of interest, yet to be determined (possibly the
islands of Cres, Los"inj and Rab, and the towns of Senj, Zadar, Trogir and
Split).

The cost of the program for the participants will vary depending on the
housing and board options chosen. The academic program, including all
cultural aspects and tours will be about $2,240.  The dorm located in
Gornji grad in the very center of town has double occupancy rooms. Room
and board with 3 meals is $18/day ($540 for 30 days), with breakfast and
dinner is $14/day ($420), with breakfast only $10/day  ($300).  Students
may also make their own living arrangements in Zagreb with friends or
relatives, etc., but will be required to attend all activities of the
group, regardless of their housing location.  The cost of meals on the
10-day coastal tour are to be covered by the students individually (an
estimated $150 should be sufficient). An additional $200 should be enough
for local transportation, books and study materials, etc. Of course, other
personal expenses are up to the individual students budget and lifestyle
($250 is a suggested reasonable figure).  Finally, the cost of a passport
and airfare and ground transportation to and from Croatia will vary,
depending on the students starting point (about $1,200 from Kansas).
Thus, the costs of sample budgets for the Program range as follows:

 minimum                                maximum

  $2,240 (no room and board)      $2,780 (dorm room w/ full board).
     150 (tour meals)                        150 (tour meals)
     200 (books, etc.)                       200 (books, etc.)
     250 (personal exp.)                     250 (personal exp.)
   1,200 (airfare, etc.)                   1,200 (airfare, etc.)
  ______________                  ______________
  $2,840 (total)                              $3,380 (total)

Naturally, the total amount will vary with the students actual expenses
for the four lower items listed above.

Students will earn 8 hours undergraduate credits from KU upon successful
completion of the program.  This also applies to high school graduates not
yet enrolled in college, who are welcome to participate.

Application materials and further information can be obtained by
contacting Prof. Bill March by e-mail (bill.march at excite.com; or,
znerezin at falcon.cc.ukans.edu) or by phone at home in the evening, except
Thursdays (785-842-0959).
