Description

The European Cultural History Tour (ECHT) 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 Summer European Cultural History Tour is a 71'day program traveling from London to Istanbul.

Other Programs Are Available: The Western European Cultural History Tour is a 35'day tour that begins in London and ends in Munich. The Mediterranean Cultural History Tour is a 36'day tour that begins in Zurich and ends in Istanbul. All Summer Cultural History Tours offer courses and credit in art and history, include cultural events such as concerts and theatrical events and museum visits in the program cost.
