Over the past decade, Copenhagen has consistently ranked as one of the top 10 most livable cities and is leading the world in sustainable urban solutions. The city’s infrastructure is made for bikes, with 62% of Copenhageners commuting to work or school by bike.

Core Course Study Tours
This program travels on Study Tours to the following destinations:
European Urban Experience: Why Cities Matter:
Week-Long Study Tour: Barcelona or Germany (Fall) or Paris or Vienna (Spring)
Core Course Week: Northern Germany or Southern Sweden
Early in the semester, you delve into your academic focus during Core Course Week, in which you travel on a short Study Tour for three days in Denmark or a neighboring country, combined with a two-day seminar in Copenhagen. Later in the semester, you travel again with your Core Course on a week-long Study Tour in Europe.
While on tour, theories learned in the classroom come to life by meeting with professionals and experts in your field who contribute to furthering your understanding of course topics. Study Tours are hands-on and experiential, combining theory with practice, and expose you to additional cultural perspectives. You have the opportunity to visit sites and experts in your field of interest that you may not otherwise have access to.
