Your Short-Term Study Abroad Opportunities
The University of Hartford is offering Pathways to Sustainability: A US and European Perspective, during which students will be traveling to Freiburg, Germany, over spring break. Course options include UIST 190 and ES 395. With an aim to achieve 100% renewable energy by 2035 and carbon neutrality by 2050, Freiburg is considered one of the best cities for urban sustainable development. This course will provide students with a technical understanding of both the benefits and challenges of renewable energy and conservation and how energy relates to food security and water issues. The course will also help students understand and analyze the policies that the US and Germany are implementing to combat climate change and achieve sustainable development.
The University of Hartford is offering all first- and second-year students the opportunity to spend Maymester 2023 abroad in one of three locations:
- London, England
- Paris, France
- San Joaquin de Flores, Costa Rica
- Rome, Italy
This is a great opportunity to spend your break immersing yourself in another culture!
Rachel Bonaparte '19, Communication, College of Arts and SciencesI loved taking classes in London, but just being abroad taught me lessons that you don’t learn in a classroom like how to navigate public transportation, how to travel in groups, to go with the flow, and important time management skills."
