Program
Description:
The Asian Cultural History Tour is a 44 day tour
that begins in Saigon, Vietnam and ends in Lhasa, Tibet. It is
a completely unique approach to university study abroad. It combines
a tour of major cultural and historical sites in Vietnam, China,
and Tibet with intense academic study of the culture and history
being experienced.
The
Asian 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 Vietnam,
China, and Tibet. 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 "CULTURAL HISTORY TOURS" ARE ALSO AVAILABLE:
A Vietnam-Cambodia-Thailand
Tour: a 20 day tour traveling to Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hue,
Saigon, Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Angkor, and Bangkok; and a
China Plus Tibet Tour: a 20day tour traveling to Shanghai,
Hangzhou, Nanjing, Shaolin, Beijing, Xian, and Lhasa. 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 Asian Cultural History
Tour we allow time in major cities such as Hanoi, Halong
Bay, Hue, Saigon, Siem Reap, Angkor, Bangkok, Shanghai, Hangzhou,
Nanjing, Shaolin, Beijing, Xian, and Lhasa 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 must enroll in 6-12 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 Asian 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 Asian
Cultural History Tour hold Ph.D.s or M.F.A.s from leading universities.
The faculty consists of widely traveled university professors.
We're
experienced
During the last 28 years, our staff has conducted 143 successful
tours to Western and Eastern Europe, Russia, Israel, Egypt, China,
Vietnam, Tibet, and other parts of Asia. In planning itineraries,
we rely on our staff's thorough knowledge of Asian culture acquired
through extensive travel and study.
