AC-5: Immersive Experience

IES students majoring in any of our six degree programs may complete one semester studying environmental science/studies, theology, and/or philosophy at the Newman Institute in Uppsala, Sweden. This program provides students an introductory look at Swedish environmental practice and policy, while providing in-depth study and discussion opportunities. Students will have the opportunity to combine their classroom experience with on-site visits to a variety of organizations practicing in the field including: Naturvårdsverket (Swedish EPA), the Stockholm Environment Institute, the Stockholm Resilience Center, and more. Additional excursions throughout Sweden and Europe will further students’ understanding of international environmental practices. The Newman Institute is the first Jesuit university to be founded in Sweden, and the first Catholic college to be accredited since the Reformation in the sixteenth century. The academic programs are small and flexible so that students have a personalized learning experience.

We have many other immersive experiences.
