The McGhee Center is pleased to announce its Fall 2010
semester abroad program in Turkey.
A unique feature of the McGhee
Center’s academic program
is its emphasis on field study and travel to many diverse parts of Turkey.
The McGhee Center curriculum promotes active
learning through excursions, travel, community service, and the
opportunity to interact with political, cultural, and business leaders
and local families. The focus on interactive learning is reinforced
by a low student-faculty ratio and by a culture of communal meals where
students are encouraged to interact with faculty, guests, and one another
as they are introduced to Turkish and Mediterranean food culture.
The
program includes a two-week Orientation in Istanbul
and Ankara, with additional excursions to Edirne, Bursa, Konya, Antalya,
and other sites of cultural and historical importance. A ten-day
mid-semester excursion to Syria
and/or southeastern Turkey
provides a comparative perspective on the region.
Dates, Fees and Courses Offered:
Tentative
dates for this program are August 27 – December 17, 2010.
Courses
Offered for Fall 2010 (click for course descriptions).
The McGhee Center is open to both Georgetown and non-Georgetown

and majors, including European, Middle Eastern, and Eurasian Studies;
International Affairs; Classical Studies; History; Geography; Art
History; Cultural Studies; and more. To meet alumni of the McGhee Center, please visit our alumni

A limited number of partial scholarships will be awarded for Fall
2010. Scholarships are awarded on the basis of a combined profile
of merit and need. All applications will receive automatic
consideration for scholarship awards along with program admission.
