Study Tours: Most courses have several field study events during the semester to add depth and perspective to the courses. All students participate in a three-day study tour to western Denmark. Depending on the course of study, tours may visit Berlin, Prague, Amsterdam, Brussels, Stockholm, Poland or Finland.
