March Spring Break 2025 Program in Denmark
Spend your Spring Break with classmates in the wonderful city of Copenhagen, Denmark’s beautiful capital city. This coastal city will serve as the backdrop for your HON 101, ENS 110, and BIO 450 courses. Long known as one of the “happiest countries in the world” and as the #1 city for work-life balance, you will explore and learn how history, sustainability, art, environmentalism, spirituality, ecology, and philosophy all come together to help one create a better life.
This program is filled with on-site guest lectures, field studies, and cultural activities. Whether you contemplate life’s great mysteries while exploring the harbor and waterfront or learn about environmental impacts and the philosophies surrounding sustainability while navigating the forests and parks, this class and trip will prove to be a once in a lifetime experience!
Classes Available
HON 101: The Life You Want: Putting It All Together (EL) - 1 Hour
Dr. Andrew Kelley
This team-taught course will explore and reframe the traditional ideas regarding what kind of life one might want and what role work plays in our lives. We will continue to examine the philosophies encountered in your current and previous HON seminars. Using Copenhagen as our backdrop, we will undoubtedly have wonderful discussions about happiness, aspirations, hopes, and dreams. You will quickly learn how international travel, culture, history, philosophy, religion, and spirituality play an important role in how we live, grow, and view our lives and the lives of others.
ENS 110/BIO 450: Conservation Bio/Env Science (MI/NS) - 3 Hours
Dr. Anant Deshwal
Climate change, sustainability, and the ongoing sixth mass extinction are the biggest challenges mankind faces today. This course explores how landscape and local culture influence our approach to these challenges. While reveling in the exquisite and breathtaking natural landscape in and around Copenhagen, we will examine different schools of thought around climate change, sustainability, and wildlife conservation. International travel will also help you think outside the box and learn lessons on sustainability from the local way of life as we continue to have stimulating discussions and try to find viable solutions.
