Students are eligible to receive 1 college credit during this 12-day seminar by 'learning through the soles of their feet.' Each day students spend time in the classroom before heading out to explore the streets of Dublin and taking in the sights and culture of the Irish countryside.
Next up for students is the Book of Kells tour - The 'Long Room of the Old Library' at Trinity College Dublin holds over 6 million volumes including The Proclamation of Irish Republic (1916) and The Book of Kells (9th Century).
Welcome home! The Kylemore Abbey Global Center welcomes students to stay at the estate in the heart of the Connemara countryside.
Students visit the peace walls in Belfast as part of a history of Northern Ireland. These 100+ walls once served as a peace-keeping measure between the Catholic and Protestant areas of the city. Now the walls are covered with incredible street art and memorials and now have become a fabric of Belfast's tourism industry.
Did you know? - The Titanic was built in Belfast and set ashore for the first time on the city's river in 1911! Students visit the interactive museum allowing students to experience the Titanic's inception to its launch.
An afternoon at Gurteen Beach!
" Ireland opened my eyes to the values of study abroad programs in education! To be able to read a simple poem that can seem rather boring in class, but then read it in the setting that the author wrote it, you just appreciate it ten times more. And that's what learning should be like; to fully immerse yourself in the setting and culture of early writers furthers the knowledge and understanding in each student like no other. "
