Alabama in Chile & Easter Island Summer 2014
Price $4,000
Study in Chile Summer 2014! This exciting program includes field trips, group meals, and excursions to the best of what Chilean landscape has to offer. In addition to Santiago, we will fly to Easter Island and spend 3 nights in one of the world’s most remote places, exploring the Polynesian ruins and wildlife. All courses are designed to supplement our urban and island excursions: we will write creatively and critically about our experiences; we will study contemporary Chilean literature for the geographic and cultural maps they draw; we will explore Modern World Literature and its international breadth of philosophies.
