    Hi WDWIP-people!

    I have applied for the J1-Academic Exchange Program 2008 (Hospitality Management). I am really curious if someone can give me some more information about the distance learning trough an US college. Like how much work do you get from the college? and does somebody knows the names of these colleges?

    Thanks a lot! Greets,

    Jason

    i'm on this program going out in October, you study for a post grad certificate at the rosen college of hospitality management which is part of the uni of central florida, you do 4 hours in college per week.

    It is a little confusing. ??? I mean on the websites it says for a J1-Academic Program:
    Students may enroll full time in an American college or university on a J-1 academic exchange visa and work at the Walt Disney World® Resort. Participants may spend up to a full year working and taking Disney Theme Parks & Resorts College Program classes at the Walt Disney World® Resort while also completing distance-learning classes at their sponsoring U.S. school.

    But the courses that you are following at the Walt Disney World Resort are not for a whole year, are they? Do you think it is possible to do two courses or so? Because the collegiate courses are only for 11 lessons.
