                 SUMMER YOUTH OPPORTUNITIES 1994
 
    The following is a listing I have gathered about summer educational
    programs  in Norway or about Norwegian language.  I do not have
    up-to-date information  about the University of Bergen's course for
    foreign students (3 weeks long),  so perhaps some other reader can
    provide it.  Also I would appreciate hearing  about other programs I
    may have missed.

    NEW PROGRAM ANNOUNCEMENT:  Norwegian Nature and Culture
 
    Scandinavian Seminar is pleased to announce our newest international
    program at Telemark College in B�, Norway.
 
    Norwegian Nature and Culture is an English language program focusing on
    the interaction of society with their environment from a Scandinavian
    perspective.  The method of study is interdisciplinary, enhanced
    through firsthand experience with Norwegians and Norway's natural
    environment and cultural heritage.   Among the issues studied are the
    ways in which human culture and activities affect the environment.  At
    the same time, students will consider how natural surroundings
    influence the development of cultural traditionidentity. Such
    influences have been strong in Norway and may be traced through the
    various regions of the country: the coast, the mountains, the cities
    and the countryside.  
 
    The program will include extensive field studies of about 20 days per
    semester.  The program is limited to approximately 35 college students
    primarily from Norway, other European countries, and North America. The
    program has been designed for undergraduate students from a variety of
    academic majors as part of their Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of
    Science degrees, and is particularly oriented toward students
    interested in environmental studies, environmental management,
    geography, Scandinavian Studies, and the humanities and cultural
    studies. Students will live in Telemark student apartments The program
    is partially subsidized by the Norwegian  government.  Tuition,
    including costs of the field studies is $2,900 per semester.  
 
    Telemark College is located in the city of B�, Norway, a commercial
    center for the Telemark District, 180 kilometers from Oslo.  B� and
    Telemark College provide a modern and dynamic environment while
    retaining the atmosphere of a small college.  Telemark College is a
    degree-granting institution offering the equivalent of an American
    undergraduate degree.  The college has an international reputation in
    research and development on environmental issues.
