While earning credit at UWS, wouldn't it be nice to:

• Spend four weeks in a beautiful country combining the Mediterranean with Alpine mountains?
• Explore stunning castles, cathedrals and mosques from the 15^th to the 19^th centuries?
• Experience first-hand a unique and rich culture bringing East and West together?
• Hear personal accounts of war and rebuilding from people who experienced it first-hand?
• Meet with politicians, community organizers and civil rights activists to learn about peace, nation-building, and social justice?
• Do something concrete to give back and help a society attempting to recover from genocide and war?

All of these things, and more, you can do with the War and Peace in Bosnia Study Abroad program.  A six credit course (History and/or Political Science) conducted over four weeks in Bosnia and Herzegovina, this course focuses on developing a practical understanding of the war that tore this country apart in the early-1990s-what it was about, how it happened, what it did to people-and then how the country has attempted to rebuild itself and move forward after the end of the shooting.  The course is all hands-on, practical experience.  Our "classroom" is the cities and villages of Bosnia; our "books" are the people we meet, and the culture they share with us.

Go off the beaten path.   Participate in the War and Peace in Bosnia program.
