Overview
The Summer European Cultural History Tours (SUMECHT) offer students a completely unique approach to university study abroad. The programs combine a thorough tour of major cultural and historical sites throughout Europe and the Mediterranean Basin with intense academic study of the culture and history being experienced. These programs provide an ideal learning environment because you integrate reading and writing with direct involvement to achieve a richer understanding of the subject than book learning alone could possibly provide. The Summer European Cultural History Tour is a 70-day program combining the Western European Cultural History Tour (WECHT) with the Mediterranean Cultural History Tour (MEDECHT). The full summer program travels to eight European countries, and begins in London, England and ends in Athens, Greece.

Theater, opera, concert performances and guided museum tours are included in the tour price. During the last 30 years, our staff has conducted more than 140 successful tours to Western and Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean, Russia, Israel, Egypt and Asia. In planning its itineraries, we rely on our staff's thorough knowledge of European history and culture acquired through extensive travel and study.
