Butler's Spring 2013 GALA - Global Adventures in the
Liberal Arts - study abroad program will provide up to 20 students
the opportunity to spend an entire semester traveling in Europe
while taking Butler core classes. Taught by Butler professors, the
classes will be a blend of classroom and on-site lectures,
discussions, site visitations, written assignments and exams. The
Spring 2013 program will take place in:
Spain
* France * Belgium * the Netherlands * England *
Ireland
The group will spend two to three weeks in each
location, which will allow you time to explore the sights and
sounds of the various settings. You will earn a total of 15
credit hours and fulfill core or general elective requirements as
well as waive one semester of Global Historical Studies (GHS)
classes by successfully completing this program. The program
is designed to fulfill CORE requirements (divisions 1-4) that
typically sophomores take; however, students who have already
fulfilled CORE requirements can still participate! No foreign
language proficiency is required.
You will pay your regular tuition to Butler
University and will be able to apply 100 percent of your
institutional aid (i.e., Butler scholarships) to your tuition
costs.
