overseas for credit
By Peter J. Soukup
Staff Reporter
Students who want to do something
fun over the winter break and earn
credit hours at the same time may find
a "Winterim" trip ideal.
The International Educational Ser
vices program at UNL has 12 study
tours for both students and non-students,
with the option for students to
earn three credits in certain areas. In
addition, there is one strictly non
credit tour that allows travelers to view
European culture in four different cities.
The study tours visit Great Britain,
China, Israel and several European
countries. Program Coordinator Christa
Joy said students can receive credits
for 200 to graduate-level classes, de
pending on the tour.
Each trip is led by a UNL or UNO
professor, Joy said. Requirements vary
from journals to papers to drawings for
the drawing class. Students should
arrange things with the respective
professor.
Prices for the trips vary from $1,200
to $2,100. The price includes tuition,
round-trip airfare, hotel accommoda
tions, daily breakfast, group projects
planned in the itinerary and transpor
tation for excursions. People spend
generally $300 to $500 in spending
money on dinners, souvenirs, individ
ual activities and other personal
expenses, Joy said.
The tours go from Dec. 26 to Jan. 11.
A $100 deposit is needed by Oct. 31,
and the balance of costs will be required
by a mid-November date that varies
depending on the tour.
All trips have two informational
meetings. The IES office also has what
they call their "Winterim Primer," Joy
said. Travelers receive packets con
taining flight tickets, hotel reserva
tions, itineraries and information about
the countries they will be visiting at
this meeting, Joy said. Foreign stu
dents from those countries on the itin
erary will be at the meeting to give
information.
With the increase of terrorist activi
ties in Europe and the Mideast in the
last couple years, some people have
expressed concern about travelling
there.
"There has been some decline, and
students will notice there has been
more security overseas," Joy said, "but
the odds of harm are higher on the
interstate."
Joy could not say whether the decline
in interest in overseas travel was a
direct result of terrorist attacks.
