News / Calendar

Japan

Japanese cuisine, or Washoku, offers invaluable opportunities to think about the intersection of the modern and traditional, local and global, rural and urban, nature and society, taste and waste, our future and sustainability. The program is based in the city of Osaka “the food capital of Japan”.

Vietnam

Vietnam is an extraordinary country filled with a remarkable history and culture, and a visual feast for the eyes. This program makes extensive use of the whole country as a site. Students will encounter and visit more of the country and its features than most travelers, and certainly more than most Vietnamese.

Italy

Italy is a country of excellence. Other than it’s cultural, artistic and food and wine heritage, Italy is also known for its manufacturing and producing power. Spend time getting lost in Rome historical center, talking to local people and tasting typical Roman food . Experience Rome with us through our study abroad programs.
