Explore the Armenian language, history, and culture through the lens of museum studies. This highly experiential program takes you to the past and back again, providing new perspectives on history, geography, identity, and more. Often referred to as "The Museum Under the Sky," Armenia is a walk through history, nestled in an incredibly beautiful landscape. It is one of the oldest centers of civilization and home to an ancient cultural heritage. This setting, along with well-developed museums, active excavation sites, and restoration labs, provides us with opportunities to understand how history is uncovered, interpreted, preserved, and presented. Our partner school is Khachatur Abovian Armenian State Pedagogical University (ASMU), a state university and higher education institution in Yerevan.
