Program Information - European Humanities (Leon)

Custom-designed for qualified Leon High School students in Tallahassee, this program begins in the spring and concludes with a tour through Europe in the summer. This innovative educational program offers NINE semester hours of college credit (HUM 2210, HUM 2235, & HUM 2250) and allows students to learn while having the time of their lives!

HOW IT WORKS!

Step One

Enrollment begins in the fall, and beginning in January, students attend the Humanities class—a combination of web-based instruction, internet research, as well as some face-to-face evening classes.

Must have Internet Access
Must have Microsoft Word
[Upon acceptance, participants will be given appropriate information, instructions and FSU student ID number to access website.]

Step Two

From June 09 – July 06, 2010 students travel throughout Europe seeing and experiencing what they have just studied.  Paintings, sculpture, monuments, and historical sites come to life before their eyes as they experience the art and culture of Europe first hand.  It is also a chance for students to acquire some important vocabulary in several languages, to interact with people of other cultures, and to form some special friendships with Leon High School classmates who will be their traveling companions.  This unique educational travel experience will add to all that they have learned previously and make past history and the contemporary present truly come alive!
