The GLI Summer Prep Program

GLI offers a five-week intensive program during the summer to prepare fellows for the academic year.

English:

Intensive English is the core of the Prep Program. This class focuses on speaking, listening, reading, and writing in English.

Case Study Methods:

The objective of the Case Study Methods component of the Prep Program is to improve fellows' skills in managing policy and organizational change by learning from the experience of public managers. Students will increase their capacity to analyze problems and identify the essential factors in effective management. In addition, they will enhance their ablility to participate in collaborative learning, both at the Graduate School of International Relations and Pacific Studies (IR/PS) and in professional roles. Participants will spend 3 hours per day for 5 sessions.

Fellows use the Computer Lab to complete their assignments and thereby learn the fundamentals of electronic mail, document creation, and the Worldwide Web in the school's own state-of-the-art computer facility.

The Prep Program introduces IR/PS course material that helps participants become familiar with the content and the vocabulary of the IR/PS curriculum, and equip them with a sense of context for their academic, cultural, and living environment. Even though this is a rigorous academic program, there will also be time to build friendships and enjoy San Diego's sunny and temperate weather and extensive outdoor opportunities.
