Description: The Summer European Cultural History Tours (SUMECHT) offer students a completely unique approach to university study abroad. The programs combine a thorough tour of major cultural and historical sites throughout Europe and the Mediterranean Basin with intense academic study of the culture and history being experienced. These programs provide an ideal learning environment because you integrate reading and writing with direct involvement to achieve a richer understanding of the subject than book learning alone could possibly provide. The Summer European Cultural History Tour is a 70-day program combining the Western European Cultural History Tour (WECHT) with the Mediterranean Cultural History Tour (MEDECHT). The full summer program travels to eight European countries, and begins in London, England and ends in Athens, Greece.

Other Programs available : The Western European Cultural History Tour is a 35 day tour that begins in London and ends in Munich. The Mediterranean Cultural History Tour is a 35 day tour that begins in Zurich and ends in Athens. All Summer Cultural History Tours offer courses and credit in art and history, include cultural events such as concerts and theatrical events and museum visits in the program cost.

Highlights: Our tours are designed to involve students in varied cultural experiences in key cultural centers. We allow some time in major cultural capitals such as London, Edinburgh, Paris, Berlin, Prague, Florence, Rome and Athens to enable students to further explore for themselves the cultural environment of these great cities. Theater, opera, concert performances and guided museum tours are included in the tour price.
