Introduction

Greetings! This is a blog for those students interested in the Scotland Study Abroad Program in May 2018 through the USG's European Council. This program is available to all USG students. This blog will serve as an introduction to the overall program. Over the next few months, I will post images, links, and other information about the courses as well as Scotland and British culture. You can also join our Facebook page and our website .

First, some basic information...

The program runs two-weeks (choice of two sessions -- 12-25 May 2018 or 26 May - 8 June) in Edinburgh, Scotland with an online component before and after we return. Students have the option of taking one to two college courses in history and literature. There are two lower level courses and two upper level courses. Students will stay in the heart of historic Edinburgh at the Edinburgh Central Hostel. The cost of the program is $2,995 (plus tuition), and includes round-trip airfare from Atlanta, GA to Edinburgh, Scotland, transportation from the airport to our lodgings, lodging in Edinburgh, expenses for the required field trips, and a health insurance policy providing coverage for emergency medical expenses.

There will also be free time built in for students to sight-see on their own. In past years, students have visited York, London, Ireland, and the Western Isles during their free time.
