UK Education Abroad and The Education Abroad Network (TEAN) have partnered to design an innovative new program in collaboration with the College of Arts & Sciences and the College of Fine Arts: Bluegrass Down Under.

 

This 12-week program will allow students to earn 13 UK credit hours with courses in English, geography, history, photography, and music history, including an internship or independent research AND up to two UK Core courses.

 

Students will begin the program with six weeks in Sydney while completing two courses. The next three weeks, students will travel to Cairns to complete a third course. Students will conclude the program back in Sydney where they will complete the final course: an internship or independent research.

 

This program includes tuition, housing and some meals, and is offered at a discounted fee for UK students!
