Program Description:

Dublin - Irish Studies

Program Overview

\Rich in culture and pride, modern Dublin is a vibrant city with more than half of its population under the age of 25. This colorful, cosmopolitan city is home to a world-class art scene and is known for its literature and famous writers, such as George Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde, and Samuel Beckett.

In this program, you learn about Irish culture through courses in the humanities and social sciences that focus on themes of tradition, change, and identity in modern Ireland. Writing and literature courses tap into the rich artistic history of Ireland, and you may also choose to participate in an internship or service learning placement to complement your classroom learning.

Just think, you'll be studying in the City of Literature that's home to such literary greats as George Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde, William Butler Yeats, and Samuel Beckett! Stroll around Dublin to see how the historic architecture blends with modern design. Enjoy the energetic music scene and lively theatre. And when you need to get away, you'll discover outdoor adventures just a short train or bus ride away.

IES Dublin

IES Dublin Program

The IES Dublin curriculum focuses on the theme of "Tradition, Change, and Identity in Modern Ireland." The study of history and culture, particularly of rural Ireland, is balanced by the analysis of recent rapid economic growth and development, a flourishing Irish literary scene, dramatically changing roles for women, and the politics of post-colonialism.

IES Dublin offers a range of courses in the fields of Anthropology, Business, Economics, History, Literature, Political Science, Sociology, and Theater. They are taught by Irish faculty and follow the Irish approach to instruction whereby students are expected to supplement lectures with wide reading. A small library is available at the IES Center and you also have access to libraries in Dublin. Field study plays a central role in several IES courses, and classrooms expand to encompass the city of Dublin.

In addition, there are six outside enrollment options at prestigious partner universities and institutions: St. Patrick's College, the European Business School, Theater Performance with the Gaiety School of Acting, University College Dublin (Belfield and Blackrock Campuses), Dublin City University, and Trinity College.

Some courses are designated as intensive field study and others as writing-intensive courses. Students must carry 15 to 19 semester credit hours. Five courses equal 15 semester credits.

IES Dublin Summer Program

IES Dublin also offers a six-week summer program with three options:

Standard Program - Two courses in Economics/International Business, History, Literature and Drama, and Political Science. Courses include field study to historical and cultural sites in Dublin and attendance at performances in Dublin's theaters.
Internship Program - Full-time career-oriented internship opportunities with placements in business, politics, and the arts. Internship seminar required.
Theater Performance Program - Full-time intensive acting course in collaboration with The Gaiety School of Acting
Theater Directing Program - Full-time intensive directing course in collaboration with Trinity College Dublin

Dublin City

Modern Dublin is defining the new image of Ireland with its thriving economy, social programs, and art scene. Yet even in the midst of change, Dublin preserves its history, evident in its architecture and in its political, religious, and social institutions. Dublin plays many roles for Ireland, as the Republic's political capital, the home of past and present writers of international stature, and the center of the island's phenomenal economic growth.

Dublin also affords easy access to the beauties of the countryside, seashore, and mountains. The IES Dublin Center, ideally situated in the historic part of the city, places students in the middle of the city's business, politics, and arts.
