Lehigh University has announced exciting study abroad opportunities in Munich, Milan, and the Dominican Republic for students to earn credit while traveling this winter.
Lehigh University students interested in spending their winter break abroad have the opportunities to combine travel with academic credit.
Lehigh is offering winter study abroad Lehigh courses in Munich, Germany, and Milan, Italy, each designed to give students a unique international experience while earning Lehigh credits toward their degree. Students can also take health-related courses in the Dominican Republic with our partner, CIEE.
Non-Lehigh winter study abroad programs are also available. Visit here for more information.
The Munich and Milan programs include courses led by Lehigh faculty and provide immersive ways to connect classroom learning with real-world contexts. Whether you want to explore sustainable architecture in Munich or gain hands-on insight into international real estate in Milan, these winter programs offer a chance to add a global dimension to your education.
This Dominican Republic course is designed for students interested in community health. Students will explore the interconnection between health and social, ecological, cultural, and historical factors, and the ways health is a socially constructed phenomenon.
