The eleventh annual summer program in Romania and Central Europe is a four-week session at Babes-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, designed to give participants a comprehensive view of the rich and unique cultural history of Pre/Post Communist Central Europe. It combines features of a traditional study abroad program and excursions, with emphasis on language, history, politics, cultural studies, and cultural geography, among other academic disciplines. The classroom work is completed by an intensive program of guided visits to museums, historical sites, and other outstanding centers of European cultural heritage and by a one week cultural trip to the capitals and important cities of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire: Budapest, Vienna, Prague and Bratislava.
