We invite you to embrace new cultures, meet new people, and gain confidence by studying abroad with JUMPSTART: Scotland.
Program Dates:
June 24 to July 24, 2020
Destination:
You'll live and study in the Dalkeith House, an 18th-century palace, just six miles from Scotland's capital city of Edinburgh.
A Safe and Supportive Living-Learning Community:
We encourage you to submerge yourself in a new culture and push beyond your comfort zone to experience what Scotland has to offer. By doing so, you'll develop confidence, understanding for others, and an appreciation for the world we live in.
You'll gain a sense of global awareness as you explore traditional Scottish storytelling. This 3-credit course, taught by UW-Stout professor Dr. Mitch Ogden, includes ancient and contemporary storytelling methods.
While you learn, you'll get to know your classmates, faculty, and staff who live, learn, and work in a fun, supportive, and collaborative community created within the house.
Our program includes excursions in and around Edinburgh, your “lab” for learning, and an opportunity for you to join in an optional weekend trip to the Highlands.
“Experience Scotland gave me the opportunity to travel, experience a new culture, and grow as a student. Without living in Scotland, I don't think my college experience would have been complete.” - Daniel
