StudyAbroad Opportunities ARRIBA ARRIBA, Academic Residency and Research Internship for Baptists Abroad, is a work/study program sponsored by Grand Rapids Baptist Col– lege in cooperation with Baptist Mid-Missions. Cedarville students in any major may earn up to forty-five quarter hours credit in Spanish, sociology, biology, religion, missions, cross-cultural studies, and general electives. Students involved in the program spend one year in the area of Cuzco, Peru, where classroom theory is integrated with practical application and experience in cultural studies, church planting, and alpine and rainforest studies, under the direction of experienced missionaries and college pro– fessors. Students interested in the program should contact Dr. John Silvius for additional information. Overseas Study Program in Germany Cedarville College sponsors a program in Germany in which students study the language and culture for seven weeks. Students with no back– ground in the language may fulfill their foreign language requirement in Elementary German (15 quarter hours). Students who already have had some German may take up to 14 hours in advanced German. While the study program is very intensive, it is also designed to take students into German homes and churches and to allow them to visit many historical settings along the Rhine, in Rhineland-Westfalen, in the Black Forest, and in Bavaria. Detailed information is available from the Department of Lan– guage and Literature.
