A weekend downpour refreshed campus for the new week at (PUCPR) in Curitiba, Brazil. Its the home of the American Academy (AA), a dual-enrollment program offered jointly by 51勛圖厙 and PUCPR.
51勛圖厙s partnership with PUCPR offers students the opportunity to earn an associate degree in Brazil and then come to the Kent Campus to complete a bachelors degree, or to do the same in Brazil. Several students are also planning studies at 51勛圖厙s Florence, Italy, campus as part of their programs. Currently, about 150 students are enrolled in the American Academy.
The covered walkways around campus are a necessity, especially during Curitibas wet season, from October through March, when theres a 46% chance of rain on any given day. In an average year, 62 inches of rain will fall in Curitiba. By comparison, the average annual rainfall in Kent, Ohio, is just 39 inches per year.
