In the past two years, 22 students have studied in Scandinavia with Dr. Nathan Webb. In the first year, they studied in Stockholm and Uppsala, Sweden, and last year, they added Copenhagen to the trip. Students received course credit for COM 3150 Intercultural Communication, general education social science, Third Year Writing (with Dr. Susan Finch), and/or Social Justice (with Dr. Jenny Crowell)

DID YOU KNOW? All study abroad courses have a special tuition rate of 1/3 the cost of normal tuition.  For every 3 hours of study abroad credit you register for, you pay for only one hour. This helps to off-set the cost of the trip. The cost of going on a 6 or 9 hour trip is about the same or less than taking those courses here on campus in the summer.
