Course Credit:  3

The unique opportunity to learn other cultures through lived experience is something you’ll remember all your life. This 3-unit course abroad is an intensive faculty-led summer program where through the study of literature, the visual arts, architecture, garden, and urban design, you’ll gain cross-cultural perspectives, develop language abilities, and marvel at how the Humanities come alive when experienced first-hand, outside the classroom. Combining novels, memoirs, poetry, the history of art & design, and plein-air practice & techniques, this program now in its fourth decade, has led students to France, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic to study and experience world-class cities, monuments, and museums, intimate towns and artist ateliers, as well as restorative natural seascapes and gardens. The program typically runs three weeks following Spring semester. (Satisfies Non-Western Cultural Experience OR Liberal Arts Elective OR Language Arts OR Literature)
