* Enable you to identify and classify major works of art and literature originating from the culture
* Provide an overview of the historical development of the region
* Require you to critique the contemporary life and culture through a comparative lens and first-hand observation
Study tours include a short regional tour in Denmark early in the semester and a longer European study tour to the cities and areas of your choice of core course section during the first week of the mid-semester break (The three choices are Paris-Reims-Verdun, Berlin-Dresden, or Prague-Cesky Krumlow.
The program study tours introduce you to salient features of Europe's cultural and historical past and contemporary affairs and support individual courses.
Highlights
