KU’s new program gives you an in-depth exploration of Irish culture and history while earning credit towards your degree. Over six credits you will cover social and political tensions in Northern Ireland, customs and culture and how conflict and identity are communicated through stories and experiences.
As well as classes held in-person, you will complete reading and writing assignments and engage in online discussions that help prepare you for arrival in Ireland. While exams and assessments in their traditional sense may be less common than before, your final exam will still require you to demonstrate that you have read widely, thought deeply and gained something significant from this program.
