Description: Please join this exciting summer course! The University of Arizona's own Distinguished Prof. Albrecht Classen, an expert in Medieval Studies and the Renaissance, will lead his sixth educational tour through Europe. This program takes students to sites which still reflect the structural, social, cultural and political impact of the Middle Ages on Europe. Program participants are welcome from all academic disciplines. The diverse backgrounds of each student add unique perspectives and rich educational opportunities to this wonderful study abroad program.
