Study Abroad Summer Sequence in History

Spend a summer in Europe and earn up to a semester's worth of credit over the summer (12 undergraduate or 9 graduate credits) by taking one, two or all three faculty-led, study-abroad courses through our Study Abroad Summer Sequence (SASS) in History.

• Complete the full SASS and earn a semester’s worth of credits (12 undergraduate, 9 graduate)
