Studying History in Other Cultures

Cultural Immersion experiences bring you to new places — either within the U.S. or across the globe — and equip you with a new perspective. These programs are known to be memorable, life changing experiences for many Blugolds. You could learn about history in unique places, such as studying Public History in Great Britain; experiencing Argentina: Culture, Society, and Economics; or going on the Central European Travel Seminar.
