CFA: Undergraduate Faculty-Led Summer program in Budapest

Deadline: January 1, 2019 

Study Culture & Politics in Budapest this Summer!

Culture and Politics in Central/Eastern Europe is a 4-week blended summer undergraduate study abroad program organized and led by faculty at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse (UWL). This interdisciplinary program focuses on the socialist and post-socialist culture and politics of Eastern Europe, with a special emphasis on a specific country. The program will be held in Budapest, Hungary in Summer 2019. Students will complete online blended coursework for 1 week, and then spend 3 weeks in-country. As part of the program, students will experience the city as a native by living in neighborhood apartments, trying local food, listening to live music, and meeting local university students. Excursions include visiting local museums and sites of importance during and after the socialist period, visiting local government and a local non-profit organization, and taking a day trip outside the city. For the final project for the program, students will create a short film on a topic of their choice, with the help of local university students. Students will earn six upper-division credits in anthropology and political science from UWL. Program fees include academic credits, housing, some meals, excursion fees, and tour guides. The program runs June 4- June 24, 2018, with online blended coursework to be completed May 22-June 4.

Applications are due January 1, 2019 for priority consideration. All application materials are due by February 1. Apply at UWL Study Abroad
