Study Abroad in History
Why?
The history department wants students to develop the ability to think historically. Studying abroad offers the opportunity for students to increase their knowledge of different cultures and their understanding of how people in different times and places viewed themselves. What better experiential learning could a historian enjoy short of time travel itself?
When?
Students need to take a sophomore seminar and write a senior thesis at Juniata, so the best time to study aboard is the junior year.
What?
History is among the most flexible programs in which to study abroad, especially if a student’s language skills allow primary research. Nearly any history course can be counted toward the POE at Juniata. Specifically this means that courses meeting the requirements for 100/200 level courses and 300/400 level courses can be taken abroad.
Where?
For English language study our students are well-served at Lincoln, Leeds and York St John. Students have studied at Limerick, Athens, Brno and many other places. The new program in The Gambia, and language programs in France, Germany, Spain and Ecuador also offer exciting opportunities.
