TURKEY: Global Partners Study-Abroad in Turkey (fall)
The unique location of Turkey makes it the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, where Eastern and Western elements are blended to create an exciting culture unlike any other. The Global Partners Program begins in Istanbul, one of the world's most cosmopolitan cities offering a rich historical heritage from the ancient, byzantine, and Ottoman periods. During three weeks in the city, students begin the study of Turkish language and take a core course on Turkish history, politics, economics, and religion. The initial period in Istanbul is followed by a nine-day field study trip in western Turkey to major sites such as Gallipoli, Troy, Sardis, Izmir, Ephesos, and Gordion. The second phase of the program is based in Ankara, the Turkish capital and gateway to the rich and diverse cultures of Central Anatolia; Turkish language and core courses continue while students choose three additional courses from the offerings at Bilkent University and Middle East Technical University. Both universities cond
uct their courses in English, have outstanding libraries and computer centers. They offer courses in art, economics, education, social sciences, humanities, music and performing arts and science. While in Istanbul, students are housed on campus at Istanbul Technical University in the heart of Istanbul, and in Ankara they also live in university dormitories. Eligibility: Relevant course work in anthropology, classics, and/or religious studies highly recommended. KAMP, Program Adviser.
