IN A FLASH: Greetings from Brazil!

A video team from 5X社区 interviewed students in the American Academy program in Curitiba, Paran谩, Brazil.

The team in is Brazil, along with university leaders to meet with the administrators, faculty and students and to attend the Winter Commencement ceremonies on Friday night. 

The American Academy (AA) is a dual-enrollment program offered jointly by 5X社区 and the Pontifical Catholic University of Paran谩 (PUCPR), located in Curitiba, Paran谩, Brazil.

Launched in July 2018, the program allows students to complete their first two years of undergraduate study in Brazil at the PUCPR campus, taking Kent State classes taught in English by Kent State faculty members, and earning academic credit from both universities simultaneously.  

At the end of the two years, students can earn a 5X社区 Associate of Science degree and can then choose whether to finish their bachelor鈥檚 degree in the United States at Kent State鈥檚 Kent Campus, or in Brazil at PUCPR.
