Study Abroad Programs in Armenia

Small, yet mighty, Armenia is a landlocked country whose scenery never fails to surprise foreign guests. Mountain passes, valleys, and canyons make a study in Armenia feel much larger than it really is, especially when basking on the shores of Lake Sevan’s seemingly endless waters. Armenia’s mountains and valleys serve as a picture-perfect metaphor for the rising and falling made apparent by the country’s turbulent history, while the fusion of strength and humility evident in an Armenian panorama makes it the perfect place to study abroad!

A Guide to Studying Abroad in Armenia

Best Places to Study in Armenia

Just over 3 million citizens call the fairytale-like setting of Armenia as home. It’s nestled in a gateway region between Asia and Europe, and so has seen influence by many different cultures from all over the world throughout its expansive history. So no matter what enchanting location you drop your jaw at, it will be a cultural immersion like none other.

Armenia’s sepia-toned architecture is softened by the greenery-filled gardens and parks in Yerevan–an unexpected delight where few traces of the country’s past remain. Antiquated teahouses sit arm-in-arm with modern wine bars and watch the passing of the many eclectic street fashions–ranging from hipster to babushka. In winter, freezing temperatures coax people into pandoks (taverns), where khoravats (BBQ meats), oghee (fruit vodka), and traditional music warm the soul.

Because Yerevan is the largest city by far, most students are limited to the metropolis when it comes to studying in Armenia. But for the trailblazers always looking to devise a plan to stray off the beaten path, have no fear. Armenia conceals much of its exotic nature in some of the more remote cities. Armenia's second-largest city, Gyumri, is working hard to reconstruct and fulfill its hidden potential as a more popular tourist destination. It has kicked-off its revitalization with a bustling market that slings local delicacies you might see Andrew Zimmern chowing down on.

Making the most of being at home!

January 22, 2021by: Keenan Overa - United StatesProgram: Advanced Russian Language and Area Studies Program (RLASP)

In 2020, the Russian Area Studies and Language Program (RLASP) was held virtually, and despite the challenges of being stuck at home the program was a tremendous opportunity to continue developing my Russian language skills. The program perfectly centered on the right balance of rigor and fun, and I easily bonded with my professors and cohort despite learning virtually. RLASP allowed me to learn more about advanced grammar topics and new vocabulary, while continuing to work on more fundamental aspects like phonetics. The presence of courses in geography, history/politics, culture, and cinema allowed me use my Russian "in practice" while exploring more technical vocabulary. I would highly recommend the program to any learner of Russian, but especially intermediate students who are ready to make the jump to a more advanced level of understanding and proficiency in the language.
