Western
European Cultural History Tour
May 24—June 28, 2009
Program Description:
The
Western European Cultural History Tour (WECHT) is a completely unique approach
to university study abroad. It combines a thorough tour of major
cultural and historical sites throughout Europe and the Mediterranean
with intense academic study of the culture and history being experienced.
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.
The Western European Cultural History Tour is a 35–day program
traveling from London to Munich.
