Description

Your study tour will be led by two professors, one from George Mason University and one from Vietnam's Diplomatic Academy. You will be lectured by some of Vietnam's leading experts and interact with students at the Diplomatic Academy and the Department of International Relations at Ho Chi Minh National University. This course will examine Vietnamese culture and its influence on present day society and politics. The process of economic renovation, political development, and Vietnam's foreign policy, especially its relations with the United States, will also be discussed.

Highlights

You will visit Vietnam's most important political, cultural, and economic centers: Hanoi, the nation's capital; Ho Chi Minh City, the southern economic hub; and the Mekong Delta, the country's fruits and rice basket. You will experience the sights and sound of ancient Vietnam in Hanoi's Old Quarters and the Temple of Literature; the breathtaking view of Ha Long Bay, a world's heritage site; the mighty Mekong River and its tributaries; and the charming highland resort of Sapa where some of Vietnam's hill tribes make their home at the foot of the country's highest mountain.
