DIS offers study tours in Germany, Sweden, Russia, Belgium, and a number of Eastern European countries. In most locations, students with sufficient knowledge of the language take courses directly in a foreign university. Located in the capital city of Stockholm, the program provides students with an opportunity to study, in English, how Sweden has addressed political, social, artistic, and economic issues relevant to all advanced societies. Topics are pursued in an interdisciplinary and critical tradition. Students study film, literature, history, languages, philosophy, psychology, and biology.
Students have the option of living with a family or a university hall or residence.
Study visits and program excursions in Sweden occur throughout the semester.
