The summer Galway program is ideal for participants interested in learning about Irish studies in a lively, student-oriented city on Ireland’s west coast. Galway's magical combination of ancient history and contemporary culture makes it a great location for Irish studies.

The Galway program consists of one five-week session offering academic coursework in literature, history, theater, music, and the Gaelic language taught by established Irish and US scholars. All of these courses include enticing field trips offering hands-on experiences with the subject matter, such as walking tours of Galway, outings to the Connemara Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking area), live theater, and guest lectures by leading playwrights and directors, private Irish film screenings, and private in-class music concerts by leading traditional musicians and singers. Participation in additional program field trips is an integral part of the program. Those with Irish roots can enroll in a one-credit course to trace their family genealogy.
