Study Abroad and Exchange Programs

 

For history majors, as for all students, study abroad is a great opportunity for academic enhancement, cultural enrichment and personal growth. Purdue University is committed to offering students numerous international academic options for course credit, and making them affordable and accessible. The Department of History shares this commitment. Study abroad, especially with Purdue University Department of History faculty, can make history come alive by bringing students to different historical sites outside of the United States. It also broadens students’ understanding of different people and cultures in our ever-globalizing environment.

 

The Department of History has developed a faculty/student exchange program with Marc Bloch University in Strasbourg, France and another with Beijing University in Beijing, China. Additionally, history faculty consistently offer a variety of study abroad course formats – as a spring break component of a regular semester history course, or as a Maymester or summer course.

 

Professor John Larson traveled with a group of students in England during Maymester 2006 with HIST 450 - The English Landscape: Integrating History, Horticulture & Landscape Architecture.

 

Study Abroad courses taking students to Germany & Greece over spring break were quite successful. Professors Gordon Mork and Gordon Young taught HIST 102I/H, 104I/H, and 590M during spring semester 2007. These courses included a required study-tour to Munich and Greece over spring break.

 

As programs are established and finalized, links to the detailed information will be posted on this page.
