Wednesday, March 19 @ 4 PM | Info Session about "The Village" study abroad program (travel through Europe while based in a French village)

Note: the following information is about a non-UM program. You will need to speak to your academic advisors at U-M for information about credit transfer.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Europe is calling you to a classroom next fall unlike any you've ever imagined. The Village Program: A European Journey that Never Ends begins in a 1000 year old monastery in one French village and then opens up the entire continent to your travel and learning as the semester continues.  History and Psychology students will follow their course from Omaha Beach to Berlin, Prague and Auschwitz, while Village Art History courses explore Paris, Venice, Florence and Rome.  Our English students have a moving classroom too, as they travel from France to London to Dublin and finally onto Galway, Ireland. 

There is no language requirement to participate in The Village, but French is offered at all levels and makes use of our "Village Lab" to insure that you really learn what you're taught.

At a total of $12,900, the price of The Village including all travel expenses, housing, full tuition and miscellaneous costs is LESS than what your fall semester will cost to stay in Ann Arbor.
 
**Info Session**
Learn about how you can be on The Village in September by coming tomorrow (Wednesday, March 19 at 4:00 PM) to Room 9 of the International Center, 603 East Madison Street.  http://internationalcenter.umich.edu/about/images/centralmap

To make Europe even more affordable, there are 10 scholarships available at the level of $1000-$2000 for The Village this fall.

Find The Village on Facebook at Globalizedu and on the web at www.globalizedu.com

The Village is an academic programs sponsored by and accredited through the Honors Program of the University of West Florida.
