Description

Featuring an extended field study trip, the IES Abroad European Union Summer program offers you the opportunity for intensive study of the European Union and its relationships with Turkey and the Western Balkan states, particularly Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, and Kosovo. Through the unique Integrative Seminar and elective courses in English, and a nearly two-week long field study trip in Turkey and the Western Balkans, you will deepen your understanding of the region and experience first-hand the cultural and political landscape of multiple EU accession states.

This program is particularly suitable for Culture Studies, Economics, History, International Business, International Relations, Political Science, and Religious Studies majors.

Coupled with housing in residence halls with German and international students in historic, centrally-located Freiburg, Germany, this program will help you to gain a meaningful cultural experience and a deeper knowledge of what it means to be a citizen of the world.
