THE PROGRAM
This four-week travel seminar offers a hands-on understanding of the history and culture of Germany, the Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary, and Poland. Dr. Gene Hood (Art and Design) and Dr. Ezra Zeitler (Geography and Anthropology) will lead the 2013 seminar, with Dr. Mitra Sadeghpour (Music). 

THE LOCATION
Central Europe has a complex history that includes the creation of multi-national empires, the formation of new nation-states after WWI, the rise and dominance of Nazism and Soviet Communism, the divisions of the Cold War, and the peaceful grass-roots revolutions of 1989 that brought down the Berlin Wall. The architecture, art, and music of the region has been shaped by leading local figures of important cultural movements from Romanticism to Post-Modernism. From the Renaissance to the "Roaring Twenties," Krakow, Vienna and Berlin emerged as European cultural capitals.

HOUSING & MEALS
Program fees include breakfast daily. The group will have dinner communally once in each city, in addition to the first two nights in Berlin upon arrival. Overnight stays are in shared rooms in hostels and hotels.

STUDENT EXPERIENCE
"Being part of the CETS program was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Not only did I learn a great deal about the history, geography, and art history of Central Europe, but I also had the chance to experience a diversity of cultures and made amazing friends, as well. I've learned so much more about myself both as a student and on a personal level, and I am extremely appreciative of this opportunity."   -Erin 

EXPLORE CENTRAL EUROPE!
The ethnic and religious history of the region is rich, complex and filled with both impressive examples of multicultural coexistence and tragic histories of persecution and genocide. The program will explore what has made the history of this region unique, impressive and sometimes tragic. It will pay particular attention to the recent developments of the late 20th Century: the fall of communism, the post-communist experience, and post-war immigration.
