Summer Grand Tour: Art in Europe

Program Information

Florence, Paris, and London make ideal “classrooms” for the study of art, history, and language. Spend 10 weeks of your summer taking in the Duomo in Florence, enjoying the view from the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and cruising the bustling streets of London in a double-decker bus.

On The Grand Tour: Art in Europe, you’ll earn up to 15 credits while exploring the stunning architecture of Florence (where even the gelato is an art form), the magnificent streets of Paris, and the plethora of museums in London.

Discover your inner artist in Europe – With courses like Art in Plein Air and Art History: From the Impressionists to Today; you can really learn about famous artists and then learn how to become one yourself!

Earn a semester’s worth of credits over the summer – While traveling through some of the most amazing cities on the planet, why not earn 15 credits in your major or in electives?

Make spectacular cities your classroom – A great part of studying abroad is learning both inside and outside the classroom, and with this program, it’s the entire point! You won’t just read about art in class; you’ll go see it in person.
