European Cultural History Tour-Multi Programs

Description: The European Cultural History Tours are 35 and 70 day tours. There are several options: a tour beginning in London and ending in Munich, one that begins in Zurich and ends in Athens, and a tour that combines both sections. These tours are a completely unique approach to university study abroad which combine visits to major cultural and historical sites with intense academic study of the culture and history being experienced. They are an ideal learning environment because they integrate reading and writing with direct involvement to give a richer understanding of the subject than book learning alone could possibly provide. Travel with experienced faculty and visit more than 20 destinations in England, France, Germany, the Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, and Greece while earning 6-12 hours of college credit in art and history.

Highlights: 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 71-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.
