Program Overview

Primary goal: to explore the rich historical and literary culture of Ireland while living and traveling in Ireland

  • Study the cultural history of Ireland from 1800 to the present while living in and experiencing 21st century Irish culture.
  • Spend ten days in the busy capital city of Dublin and ten days in the lively university town of Galway.
  • Alternate days in the classroom with field trips to museums, country homes, the National Theatre, a castle, a prison, and the Aran Islands.

Special Considerations

  • The program involves lots of walking in all kinds of weather.
  • Class is often held in the field or on the street.
  • Requirements include regular reading assignments, keeping a reading log (3-4 pages turned in each week) and the choice of writing a final paper or taking a written exam. Academic support is available.
  • Students live in residence halls and shop for/prepare many of their own meals.
