Irish and Irish American Film – Study Abroad Program, 2017

The Irish and Irish American Studies Program is sponsoring a Study Abroad Program, Summer 2017, in Ireland. The program runs from June 3 to June 30. Students take two of three courses (6 credits total). On offer is a course taught by Dr. Colleen Glenn, ENGL 390: Studies in Irish Cinema. The course will count toward the Film Studies minor. ***A reminder to students who have already taken ENGL 390: you are allowed to take up to 6 credits of ENGL 390***

Students are also able to take courses that will count towards a minor in Irish and Irish American Studies, as well as a major/minor in English or History.

The program will be based at Dublin City University (DCU) in Dublin, Ireland. Students will live in DCU dorms and attend classes in a DCU classroom. There will be several day trips in and around Dublin, most using public transportation, as well as a full-day excursion to Glendalough, an early Medieval monastery south of Dublin. The program will also include a 8-day excursion to the west of Ireland and to Northern Ireland.

Students will have the opportunity to partake in optional urban and rural hiking.
