Students will travel throughout Dublin in Ireland, and Belfast in Northern Ireland to sites and locations such as St. Patrick's Cathedral, Trinity College, the Guinness factory, and Giant's Causeway. This experience will culminate in an individualized scholarly project. Tuition covers most of the costs associated with the study abroad programs but excludes airfare and some meals.
