Study Abroad in Gettysburg?

If you are interested in spending a semester away from your home institution but don’t feel like heading for western Europe, and are a Civil War buff, the Gettysburg Semester is probably right for you.  The Gettysburg Semester, directed by Lincoln Scholar Allen C. Guelzo, is a semester designed to dive students into Civil War Era studies at Gettysburg College.  The Semester offers an array of courses dealing with the American Civil War, including a “field studies course,” in which students explore the many battlefields not far from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.  The Gettysburg Semester is a great alternative to the traditional study abroad semesters offered by many colleges.
