For centuries, travelers have sought out places associated with the Homeric hero. Today nearly 3,000 years after that great epic was first heard, the sites identified with 5th century Greece still haunt our collective imagination. In anticipation of possible further exchanges during term time, students interested in interdisciplinary studies within the Humanities may attend a Summer School in Religion and the Arts at the University of Glasgow. The Department of Modern and Classical Languages offers a summer program in Bourges, France, every summer. Students earn between 6 and 9 credit hours depending on the duration of the program, from 6 to 9 weeks.
Students take classes and stay with French families.
Students will have the opportunity to take non-traditional courses in addition to their regular language or literature courses, such as the history of the region, local culture, local architecture, etc. Bourges is a medium size town, two hours south of Paris by train or car. It is located in the heart of France, near the Loire Valley and the wine regions of France. Students will visit San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato and Tula, Hidalgo. This does not include UH tuition.
