UNG seeks expansion of language abroad studies
Program to continue despite concerns about terrorism in Europe

John Wilson, associate vice president of international programs at University of North Georgia, said the school has about 350 students go abroad each year.
A language-study abroad program for high school students is expanding at the University of North Georgia. And all of this is happening even as university officials pore over documents and exchange information with European officials about potential safety risks because of the terrorist attacks in Brussels in March and Paris in November. UNG offers instruction in eight languages during the summer for high school students, and the school started a three-week program in Germany in 2015.
