Students will travel to Ireland during Spring Break 2017. The seven-day study abroad experience is designed to bring to life the history, the conflicts, and the post-Good-Friday-Agreement reality of the province.

Day-trips from Belfast will take in the rugged north coast and the home of poet Seamus Heaney.
