Overview
Located on the Bosphorus Strait separating Europe from Asia, Istanbul has long been one of the world’s most fascinating and important cities. Capital city of the Roman Empire in the fourth century, the Byzantine Empire until the fifteenth century, and the Ottoman Empire until early in the twentieth century, Istanbul is today home to many important cultural sites, including the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Topkapi Palace, as well as a vibrant center of industry and trade.
This eight-week program brings together students and faculty from Harvard and Sabanci University of Turkey, creating an exciting intercultural experience both in the classroom and beyond. Students select two courses from a range of offerings in the humanities and social sciences. Courses are taught at a site along the Bosphorus, and students stay nearby, with access to the old city, restaurants, shops, and other points of interest.
Courses: to be announced.
Prerequisites: dependent on courses offered.
