Delve into the natural wonders of Scotland through field study

Explore the mountains and cultural past of Scotland as you learn about the history and culture of this fascinating land both inside and outside the classroom. You'll be living and breathing the make-up of this country. Participate in 3 full day excursions and numerous site visits throughout Scotland. Your Historic Scotland offers free access to many historic sites.

The program is based in Edinburgh, which itself is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and you will study through the Arcadia Edinburgh Center with the full support of our staff and faculty.

Delving deeper into the cultural identity of Scotland lends a perspective imperceptible to the typical tourist. Scotland's national perception goes far beyond its tartan-clan bagpipers and ubiquitous castle ruins. ”
