The History Department enthusiastically encourages history majors and minors to consider completing a portion of their undergraduate coursework through a U of M Study Abroad program. Studying history abroad means living, not just doing, history. Why study the history of Europe, or Africa, Asia, Latin America when you can study amid history in Europe, Africa, Asia, or Latin America?
