Extended Accelerator - Bachelor of Arts - International Studies - Political Science

The Extended Accelerator Program (EAP) is a three-semester program for students seeking an immersive English-learning experience. The program gives students firsthand practical and cultural understanding of the Adelphi campus and New York area through its contextual curriculum. Students may enter the program in the spring, summer or fall. Upon completion of the program, students progress into the second year of their undergraduate education with a full year’s worth of academic credits.

Through the political science track of the Bachelor of Arts in International Studies, students will be immersed in the political and social aspects of the region students choose to study. In addition, Adelphi University intensive foreign-language component will give them a more in-depth knowledge of the region and culture they are studying while preparing them for real-world opportunities. The concentration is completed with a senior capstone, where they will choose to do an internship or perform original interdisciplinary research. Adelphi University’s strong connection to the United Nations offers opportunities such as participating in conferences and briefings in New York City and attending lectures from visiting ambassadors on campus.
