Switzerland, a country of stunning mountain vistas, truly lies at the crossroads of Europe. It is among the top-rated countries in the world with regard to health care, environmental policy, public transportation, infrastructure, live-able cities and healthy lifestyles. This experiential learning program applies an ecological framework to better understand how culture, policy, and practice interact to achieve a sustainable and healthy society.
During spring semester students attend a weekly seminar, complete background research, and write a research paper. Students are assigned to a research teams for field research in Switzerland. For our Swiss academic program, we stay in Kandersteg, nestled in the Alps, travel to nearby cities and hike to complete a series of related research exercises.
All events, groups, organizations, and centers are open for full participation by all individuals regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or any other protected category under applicable federal law, state law, and the University's nondiscrimination policy.
