The Gettysburg Semester

 

Selected history and American Studies majors may enjoy a one-semester (Fall) Civil War experience at Gettysburg College. The Gettysburg Semester is an interdisciplinary program in Civil War Era Studies. Students live in a Civil War-era house, take a variety of specialized Civil War courses, numerous field trips, enjoy access to specialized scholars as well as a wealth of primary Civil War sources, and some students may be able to earn internship credit.  Siena students must pay Gettysburg College tuition and fees, but though a special arrangement, Gettysburg College directly bills Siena, allowing Siena students to use their financial aid, and Gettysburg offers Siena students a small discount.  In addition, one spot is reserved for a Siena student until mid-March. Interested students MUST apply through the Siena College history department to gain admission to this program and to take advantage of our special affiliation with Gettysburg College. If there are multiple applications, a departmental committee will recommend who is to be selected. Contact Dr. Bruce Eelman for further information and application.
