Welcome!
IHP offers a unique set of theme-based, multi-country study
abroad programs. Each program is designed to give students the opportunity to explore significant social, political, and environmental issues using an innovative comparative approach. The comparative approach allows students to contrast and analyze thematic issues on a global scale. It exposes students to a wide range of communities and perspectives, requiring students to question assumptions and suspend judgments, while inquiring deeply around the thematic areas.
On each of IHP’s study abroad programs, a relatively small group of students and faculty will travel together to several different countries. The group will spend between four and eight weeks in each country while examining issues related to the program theme. The exploration of issues will involve direct contact and interaction with local experts, activists, educators, community members, public figures, and leaders of various government and community organizations. Students will take four classes per semester, earning sixteen credits. IHP emphasizes on-site learning. Students will augment class-based lectures with various site visits and interactive learning experiences.
IHP is unique in terms of both its intellectual content and its challenge for motivation and self-discipline of its students. IHP prompts students to ask lifelong questions about their role in a
global community.
