Description
The European Culture & History program is designed for students majoring in the humanities. By applying the themes of Memory and Identity to specific European cities, regions and/or countries, it will

* Introduce you to current social trends and political climate

* Enable you to identify and classify major works of art and literature originating from the culture

* Provide an overview of the historical development of the region

* Require you to critique the contemporary life and culture through a comparative lens and first-hand observation

Study tours include a short regional tour in Denmark early in the semester and a longer European study tour to the cities and areas of your choice of core course section during the first week of the mid-semester break (The three choices are Paris-Reims-Verdun, Berlin-Dresden, or Prague-Cesky Krumlow.

The program study tours introduce you to salient features of Europe's cultural and historical past and contemporary affairs, and support individual courses.

Highlights
All courses include field studies that make maximum use of Copenhagen's rich resources, from its outstanding art collections to the world famous Royal Ballet, historical museums, and the city itself, where you can still trace the footsteps of Hans Christian Andersen and Soren Kirkegaard.
