We encourage history students to take advantage of studying abroad, whether for a year, a semester, or a summer. Our students study in the UK, Hong Kong, Australia, the Middle East... really, all over the world.
Some students choose to do research for history projects while they are abroad, and obtain some funding from our travel grant program for that purpose. Students are also able (depending on the specifics of the program) to earn advanced course hours which count toward their LAS residency requirement and the History Major while abroad.
Other reasons to study abroad include:
- Gaining intercultural literacy
- Exercising independence
- Foreign language development
- Experiencing a new academic culture
- Ability to network internationally
HIST 354: 20th Century Europe in Prague
The Department of History currently offers a study abroad program in Prague: HIST 354: 20th Century Europe in Prague. Tour one of Europe's most beautiful cities and visit locations where history was made: Wenceslas Square, the Jewish Quarter, Prague Castle, the Theresienstadt Ghetto, and the National Opera. Immerse yourself in Czech culture while exploring the region's complex history of ethnic and confessional pluralism, medieval legacies, the rise and fall of empires, and the transformation of European identity.
