Program
Description:
The China, Vietnam, Thailand Cultural History Tour is a 56 day
tour that begins in Shanghai and ends in Bangkok. It is a completely
unique approach to university study abroad. It combines a tour
of major cultural and historical sites in China, Vietnam and Thailand with intense academic
study of the culture and history being experienced.
The
China, Vietnam, Thailand Cultural History Tour is based on many
years of experience with Asian Cultural History tours. Thus, the
faculty and staff have a great deal of experience traveling in
China, Vietnam and Thailand. It's an ideal learning environment
because it integrates reading and writing with direct involvement
to give a richer understanding of the subject than book learning
alone could possibly provide.
OTHER PROGRAMS ARE AVAILABLE: The
China Cultural History Tour is a 30 day program traveling
to Shanghai,
Beijing, Luoyang, Xian, Changsha, Yangshuo, and Hong Kong
and
a
Vietnam-Thailand program
traveling to Hong Kong, Hanoi, Hue, Nha Trang, Ho Chi Minh City,
Bangkok, Sukhothai, Chiang Mai, and Ko Samet. All Cultural History
Tours offer courses and credit in history and other major disciplines.
Cultural
History Tour Advantages:
The
emphasis is on culture
Our tours are designed to involve students in varied cultural
experiences in key cultural centers. On the China, Vietnam, Thailand
Cultural History Tour we allow time in major cities such as Shanghai,
Beijing, Luoyang, Xian, Changsha, Yangshuo, Hong Kong, Hanoi,
Hue, Nha Trang, Ho Chi Minh City, Bangkok, Sukhothai, Chiang Mai,
and Ko Samet to enable students to further explore for themselves
the cultural environment of these great cities. Cultural performances
are included in the program fee as well as museum tickets and
visits to sites. The academic emphasis provides a coherent context
for site visits and activities.
You
get college credit
Students
on the program may earn up to 6 credit hours of Eastern Michigan
University credit. Students should consult with the EMU study
abroad adviser or their academic adviser to assess how this credit
will fit into their academic program.
The
tour is university sponsored.
Since the China, Vietnam, Thailand Cultural History Tour is sponsored
by Eastern Michigan University, it costs less than comparable
commercial tours while providing college credit.
Our
staff is top quality
All
faculty members on the China, Vietnam, Thailand Cultural History
Tour hold Ph.D.s or M.F.A.s from leading universities. The faculty
consists of widely traveled university professors.
