Sweden:
The Swedish Program
The Swedish Program at the University of Stockholm, primarily recommended
for students intending to work on advanced projects in the social
sciences, focuses on how Sweden has addressed political, social,
artistic, and economic issues relevant to all advanced societies.
The curriculum reflects the country's innovative responses to public
policy challenges such as environmental protection, gender equality,
women's issues, immigration, workplace democracy, day-care, health
care, and education; topics which are pursued in an interdisciplinary
and critical tradition. Comparative study compares and contrasts
Swedish social and economic policies with those of the United States
and its European neighbors. Course work also includes the required
study of Swedish language as well as offerings in Swedish literature,
film, art, and architecture. All content courses are taught in English.
Classes promote experiential learning through direct observation
and discussion with Swedish professionals, and students are expected
to keep journals in order to record and interpret their everyday
experiences. Field trips have included visits to the Swedish Parliament,
art museums, the Royal Theater, public schools and private companies.
The fall semester program offers an extended excursion to the islands
of the Stockholm Archipelago while in the spring semester students
travel to the Dalarna region 200 miles north of the Stockholm. An
optional excursion is also offered to the island of Gotland. Program
participants have the option of living with a Swedish family or
in university-owned apartments throughout the city. Eligibility:
Background in sociology, anthropology, and/or political science.
