I learned a lot about European history and values. I definitely took a lot of time thinking of comparative politics A student - University of California - San Diego / UCSD View Entire Review

Experiential learning gave me a deeper understanding of the material A student - University of California - San Diego / UCSD View Entire Review
It's clichéd, but it really expanded my worldview, and boosted my confidence in general. Navigating a foreign country for the first time was at times scary and difficult, but always exciting and rewarding. The class material too was excellent and extremely interesting.

I loved traveling around Europe and seeing different cultures in different countries. I also thought it was cool to learn in and out of the classroom. A student - University of California - San Diego / UCSD View Entire Review
About
Berlin is a site of tremendous world-historical importance. The major themes of the coursework on this program are revolutionary activity and nationbuilding; imperialism and trans-cultural encounters; and industrial expansion and the rise of a capitalist world order. Over the course of the “long nineteenth century", from roughly 1750-1914, Berlin was a rising world capital, and it will offer us many creative and useful ways to approach these global-studies themes. This program will also consider everyday life under dictatorship. Because the city was the site of two of the most oppressive versions of authoritarianism in the Nazi years and under communist rule, there is simply no place better than Berlin for presenting this historical material. The hard and cruel experience of life in authoritarian Berlin is never too far away for anyone living in the city.
