Study Abroad

This is a unique opportunity to learn about European post-conflict societies — a troubled history, current developments, culture and people — by submerging yourself in a foreign, friendly environment. You will meet people from all strata of life and absorb new knowledge by socializing with your peers, making friends and experiencing one of the most vibrant and hospitable European capitals. You will learn and develop skills through interaction with Serbian, Montenegrin and Croatian students, faculty and high-ranking officials. You will broaden your horizons, better understand developments in Europe, and form your own opinion about major issues. But the life experiences will be just as rewarding. You will enjoy the countryside, the magnificent Adriatic Sea beaches, the unparalleled beauty of the Mediterranean coast, and three of the best-preserved medieval cities in the world.

Seville is a beautiful place whose history sits next to a vibrant present-day culture. The trip will include field trips to both health care and cultural sites in and around Seville and to the region’s famous cultural sites, including visits to Cordoba and a three-day trip to Granada. Students will conduct a “disease outbreak investigation,” meet with health care leaders, and learn how Europe has successfully dealt with past disease outbreaks. In addition, students will gain an appreciation of the cultural and historical sites of Seville. Students will live with Spanish families, giving them the opportunity to learn more about Spanish language and culture outside of the classroom.
