Salisbury Fire Department

Salisbury University’s Intensive Study Abroad Program (ISAP) is a four-week long, summer educational program that provides international university students with intensive English language instruction and immersion experiences that reflect American life, history, and culture. The program’s theme is the “good stewardship” of our shared resources, environments, and communities- on the Eastern Shore and beyond.

Students practice their language skills both through formal English classes and in real-life settings through educational excursions and social activities with American students and families. They also meet local community leaders and attend informal, discussion-style lectures and workshops delivered by resident professionals on various topics.

As they study in Salisbury, students will visit and experience many sites of cultural, historical, and ecological interest, including various museums, farms, rivers, parks, and nearby educational and recreational attractions includingAssateague’s National Seashore, the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, the Ward Museum, and the Ocean City boardwalk. On the weekends, they will tour New York City; Washington, D.C.; and Williamsburg, VA.

This year’s 38 ISAP students and 5 faculty representatives hail from three major Chinese institutions: Xinhua College of Sun Yat-sen University, Tianjin University of Education and Technology, and Anqing Normal University.
