Study Abroad in Norway
Summer 2027
For a small country, Norway is admired today for its sports culture and famous athletes (who excel in soccer, skiing, etc.). It is also famous for its breathtaking natural beauty and rich Viking history. Less well-known but equally impressive are its much-admired approaches to sustainable development, work-life balance, and gender equity, as well as its giant sovereign wealth fund, which all reflect Norway’s strong sense of community and culture of civic engagement. Through guided tours, site visits, and excursions in Oslo and Bergen, and the places in between, you will learn about Norway’s remarkable past and exciting contemporary culture. You will examine Norway’s history, culture, and nature as you experience its great outdoors (majestic fjords, forests, beaches, etc.) and enjoy its world-class museums, parks, and thriving urban centers.
