Samenvatting

Compares 4 university summer school programs for international students of social science: (1) Ann Arbor, MI; (2) Colchester, UK; (3) Budapest, Hungary; & (4) Oslo, Norway. The first 3 schools focus more on quantitative analytical methods, while Oslo is oriented more toward content. Ann Arbor & Colchester have very similar programs. The Budapest program has more of an orientation toward Eastern European affairs. All programs boast a high degree of participation by foreign students. Summer schools are enjoying increasing popularity, perhaps due to the chances they offer for students to make international contacts. Students view summer school as a good investment. 2 Tables, 4 References. M. Meeks
