Summer
European Cultural History Tour
May 25 - August 2, 2008
Program
Description:
The
Summer European Cultural History Tours (SUMECHT) offer students a completely unique approach to university
study abroad. The programs combine a thorough tour of major
cultural and historical sites throughout Europe and the Mediterranean
Basin with intense academic study of the
culture and history being experienced. These programs provide
an ideal learning environment because you integrate reading
and writing with direct involvement to achieve a richer understanding
of the subject than book learning alone could possibly provide. The Summer European Cultural History Tour is a 70-day program combining the Western European Cultural History Tour (WECHT) with the Mediterranean Cultural History Tour (MEDECHT). The full summer program travels to eight European countries, and begins in London, England and ends in Athens, Greece.

Program Fee: $7,600* (This cost for currently enrolled EMU students reflects a $1,000 reduction in program fee.) *does not include tuition and airfare
*Our program fees are based on currency exchange rates in effect at the time of budget planning. Further weakening of the U.S. Dollar against world currencies may require a surcharge to cover unexpected costs resulting from unfavorable exchange rates.
