Study Abroad
Graduate Liberal Studies offers study abroad opportunities in the summer term. These include both GLS seminars taught by Duke graduate faculty and courses within the Oxford University International Summer Schools. GLS alumni and students and alumni from other GLS programs are invited to participate in these study abroad courses. Course dates and information are available in fall for the following summer.
GLS study abroad seminars are designed to accommodate the busy schedules of GLS students. A typical course combines on-campus meetings with a two-week session in the country of study. Term papers and final requirements are often completed upon return.
Recent GLS study abroad courses include:
- Theater studies during London’s summer theater season
- Cathedrals and cities in France
- Art and architecture in the age of Dante in Florence
- Classical theater and its architecture in Greece
- Arts and markets in the Netherlands and Belgium
- Kings, emperors and castles in Naples and Sicily
Oxford University’s International Summer Schools offer intensive, graduate-level courses. Over a three-week period, students attend daily lectures followed by small group seminars comprising students from across the globe. Options include English Literature; History, Politics and Society; Creative Writing; and International Politics (two-week course).
