Participants are invited to explore the history, geography, landmarks, arts, and customs of Niagara Falls through classroom lectures, films, articles, and discussions while improving your English comprehension skills.
After you complete your class sessions you will participate in a weekend tour to Niagara Falls! To see a detailed itinerary of the tour, please visit the Cultural Hi-Ways website.
When you have successfully completed the course (including the tour), you will obtain a CERTIFICATE stating you have earned credit for 40 HOURS or 4.0 CEU.
PLEASE NOTE: in order to receive any credit, you MUST attend all classes, complete all the assignments and go on the tour. Please make sure, before you sign up, that you are available on the three class dates and the trip dates. There are NO make-up assignments and NO excuses.
Program Fee: $499 (includes roundtrip travel and hotel in Niagara Falls). No additional fees. But, Canadian visa fees may apply for some students - see below.
IMPORTANT: If you need a visa to enter Canada (check at the Canadian Consulate website ) make sure to include BOTH your trip letter from Cultural Hi-Ways and your attendance letter from BMCC in your application. However, it may now take TWO MONTHS OR MORE for the Canadian authorities to process your visa application.
By enrolling in this BMCC course you specifically acknowledge that:
• You are solely responsible for complying with Canada's visa requirements;
• Neither BMCC nor Cultural Hi-Ways accepts responsibility for advising you of visa or other immigration requirements; and
• If you do not receive you visa in time to travel to Canada with your class you will not be entitled to any refund from either BMCC or Cultural Hi-Ways.
For the June 14-16 tour, there is no option to stay on the United States side of the border.
