Program Overview
The objective for the Scotland Heritage Study Tour is to offer the courses listed above in a setting which will maximize the educational value of the courses for students and to do it at a time which will minimize the cost to you. The courses will enable you to learn about the history of the Scottish people and nation, focusing especially on their religious and political heritage. We will also consider their interaction with politics and economics in the development of the modern nation of the United Kingdom. And much of the study will be done in the place where most of the events happened--the United Kingdom, Scotland in particular. You will be able to visit many of those places you read about in their textbooks and in other writings. You will also gain the experience of meeting persons from another contemporary culture while studying an earlier period of the history of that culture. While the Humanities course will address the same ideas, expressions and events as the those sections of the course taught on campus, special attention will be given to Scottish writers, philosophers, artists and scientists who were leaders this period of history.

Program Overview
Our modern life has a past that is still present in France and Spain. As students of the humanities, art, and photography we will walk through history inside the medieval walls of Avignon, taste life in multi-cultural Barcelona on the Mediterranean, and then rush forward via the über-tech bullet train into modern Paris. For 8 days we will take walk medieval streets of Avignon where the Popes took refuge and artists sought perfect light, taking daytrips to the Pont du Gard and the Roman arena at Nimes, the city of Arles, where Van Gogh painted, and bicycling through in countryside that inspired painter Cezanne. With four days in Barcelona, we will explore our cultural heritage through unique architecture (including Gaudi's Sagrada Familia), art (Picasso, Miro, and Dali) and the Flamenco dance. Our last four days are in Paris where we will see the Eiffel Tour, Louvre, Notre Dame cathedral, and take a night cruise on the Seine.

Time has been reserved for students to explore and discover sites of personal interest. Coupled with class discussions, journaling and art-making in our atelier, we will synthesize the ancient and the modern.
