STUDY ABROAD TRIP

Tut's Picture

“The Glories of Ancient Egypt”

Due to the amount of interest in this trip, we have begun a waiting list for community members and students. We are looking into creating another trip.

Explore the magnificent archaeological sites, monuments, and museums of Ancient Egyptian civilization. This two-week adventure to Egypt takes you to the Great Pyramids Giza, the oldest, largest, and the last of the ancient world's "seven wonders" still standing. Students and participants will visit Memphis, Sakkara, Sphinx, and the National Egyptian Museum, which is a showcase for one of the world's most spectacular collections of antiquities including the treasures of King Tutankhamen. They will visit the Valley of the Kings, the Valley of the Queens, the Temples of Karnak, the Temple of Luxor, and enjoy the breathtaking Sound and Light Laser Shows. They will visit Alexandria and Al-Alamein World War II Military Museum. For-credit students, a web-based course component will be available during the Fall Semester of 2008. Students will keep a journal during the tour, and write a paper upon return.

Travel Dates: January 3-16, 2009 (Winterim)

Customized In-Service
Professional Training

UW-Waukesha will be happy to offer any of our courses at your location as in-service or professional training. If you would like a program tailored specifically for the needs of your staff, we will be happy to design a program to fit your needs.


Give the Gift of Education!

If you are looking for the perfect gift for a loved one that seems to have everything, Continuing Education has the perfect solution. Gift certificates are available in $25 increments and are good for classes or travel opportunities. Why give someone another sweater or blender when you can give them the gift of learning a foreign language, yoga, photography, ballroom dancing or a Study Abroad trip? Give the gift of a fruitcake and it will be gone in a day; give the gift of knowledge and it will last a lifetime!
