3) New Co-Sponsored Programs!
We are pleased to announce that beginning in fall 2007, Miami students will be able to apply their Miami scholarships (excluding Ohio Leader/Ohio Resident, which are only applicable to Miami tuition) to semester-long programs through IES, CIEE and SIT. By moving these programs from the Affiliated to the Co-Sponsored category, we hope that more students will be able to take advantage of these high-quality programs and that students who may not have planned to study abroad for a semester or year will now take advantage of the wider range of programs on which they can use their scholarships. These new programs cover the following countries:
- Africa/Middle East: Botswana, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Ghana, Jordan, Kenya, Madagascar, Morocco, Oman, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, Tunisia, Turkey, Uganda
- Americas: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Jamaica, Mexico, Netherlands Antilles, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru
- Asia/Pacific: Australia, Cambodia, China, Fiji, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, Nepal, New Zealand, Samoa, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam
- Europe/Eurasia: Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom

Miami is pleased to announce its newest semester-long study abroad program: the Miami University China Semester Program. The program will be affiliated with Jiao Tong University in Shanghai, China. Courses will be offered in English, but students are also expected to study Chinese while they are there.
