| Program Description | |
| |
Istanbul is a vibrant city that spans the Bosphorus Strait, with one foot in Europe and the other in Asia. Originally called Byzantium and then Constantinople, Istanbul has a rich history that goes back to the beginning of western civilization. Explore its historic old town area that will transport you back in time. Then, ride the efficient public transit to the heart of modern day Istanbul. Immerse yourself in its rich culture as you observe in schools, interact with teachers and students, and explore the city from cultural and mathematical perspectives.
Istanbul provides a stunning backdrop to study the geometry and measurement concepts found in elementary and middle school mathematics curricula. Whether enrolled in MATH 253 or MATH 240, learn to see the mathematics that surrounds us through a critical look at the architecture, art and historic sites of the region. Apply the concepts from class as we visit must-see sights, including the impressive Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque.
The Program Fee includes housing, all program-related events and excursions, some meals, in-country transportation and international medical insurance. Lodging typically will be in double-occupancy hotel rooms, but may also include university dormitories or apartments. Hotels tend to provide breakfast each morning as part of the room charge. The program will host an orientation dinner upon arrival in Istanbul and a farewell dinner on the final evening. Additional meals are not included.
The Program Fee does NOT include airfare to/from Turkey, nor airport transfers within the U.S. The program officially begins when students arrive in Istanbul. Students will receive detailed travel instructions after acceptance, explaining how and where to purchase their plane ticket. See the Cost section below for estimate airfare. For this program, plane tickets have been reserved for the group, and students are strongly encouraged to purchase as part of the group reservation.
