Printer friendly page

The Croatia Study Abroad program, with public health credits, has received enough student applications this year to schedule the trip. However, there are still a few places remaining, so if you are interested in this exciting opportunity there is still time left to apply. The deadline for applications has been extended. See the Croatia Study Abroad webpage (www.uga.edu/croatia) for more information.


The Program:

The Croatia Maymester Study Abroad Program offers students the opportunity to earn six hours credit studying various aspects of Croatian culture and society while traveling through this beautiful and fascinating country. Courses are taught by UGA faculty and use active engagement approaches that will take students into different regions and allow them to interact with scholars from Croatian universities and research institutes, local government officials, leaders of non-governmental organizations, and citizens from different walks of life.

The 2009 study abroad program will focus on nationalism and ethnic conflict, culture and national identity, the conservation and interpretation of tangible and intangible cultural heritage, and public health as a societal issue in Croatia.

The Croatia Maymester Study Abroad Program is open to all undergraduate and graduate students with good academic standing.

Application deadline: January 30, 2009 extended until March 6, 2009 ($50 application fee required)
