The UCU Summer Schools are an academic center for learning in an international context and a forum for fostering intercultural understanding and spiritual growth.

Purpose: To enable intense study in a relatively relaxed environment and to encourage growth in personal faith by providing a spiritual experience. The summer programs cover a variety of fields, including both modern and classical languages, as well as themes closely related to UCU’s mission, theology, art, and leadership.

Every summer from late May to early August, UCU welcomes some 400 students from all over the world to its wide variety of courses, mostly within the liberal arts and social sciences.
