Overseas programs are designed to appeal to all types of students and are directed by faculty with expertise in the field of study being offered and in-depth knowledge of the country in which the program takes place. In recent years, the History Department has offered travel courses on the History of London, Cradles of Russian Civilization, World War II in Europe, and Cradles of Chinese Civilization. Theatre courses have usually coupled a visit to London with visits to Italy or Scotland. English as a Second Language courses, designed especially for teachers seeking ESL endorsement, have been based in Mexico. Overseas study courses offer six credit hours of graduate or undergraduate credit and can be used for degree requirements or professional development.
Participants are responsible for paying all costs related to travel in addition to tuition and fees.
However, students may apply for International Studies grants that usually cover the cost of six hours of tuition and fees. Those wishing to participate in a summer course should apply by February 15 by contacting the instructor. The University of Texas at Tyler 3900 University Blvd.
