Study Abroad Trip To Poland

[Laura Kline]

Wayne State University Offers Study Abroad Program in Poland

WSU is once again offering a two-week-long educational trip to Poland. The
Study Abroad in Poland trip will take place May 12 - 26. We will spend eight
days in Krakow (one of the top five most-desirable European destinations)
and visit Zakopane (two days), Warszawa (two days), Auschwitz-Birkenau
concentration camps, the world-famous Wieliczka Salt Mines, the birthplace
of Chopin in Zelazowa Wola, and the most holy of Polish shrines, Czestochowa
(the shrine of the Black Madonna). The trip offers a great opportunity to
learn first-hand about Polish art, music, history, business, government, as
well as witness recent American and Western European influences on Polish
culture. Experiencing real Polish cuisine, as well as hiking in the
beautiful Tatry Mountains (combined with a short trip to Slovakia), are also
a part of the program. 

For those interested, the exciting nightclubs of Krakow and Warsaw are
waiting as well!    

The faculty of the highly-renowned Jagiellonian University will conduct
lectures and sight-seeing tours during the trip.   
This program is open to students from other universities, as well as to non-
students at no extra cost.

If you are a WSU student, this trip can be taken as Survey of Polish Culture
(POL 2710) to fulfill the University Foreign Culture requirement, or as
directed study (POL 3990) for 1-3 credits. No knowledge of Polish is
required. 

Cost: $2,625 includes roundtrip airfare, housing, insurance, class trips,
in-country transportation and some group meals. 

For more information please contact Dr. Alina Klin at 313-577-6245 or

Deadline for applying is March 10.
