Winter in Singapore

    About the Program

    Modern Singapore is widely acclaimed for its economic development and forward-thinking social policies. The nation's transformation from a third-world city to a global financial center has been attributed to the contributions of its diverse population, guided by government policies and laws regulating ethnic representation in housing, education, civil service, and other forms of socioeconomic participation. The 21-day study tour will explore the cultural traditions of the Chinese, Malay, Indian and European populations against the backdrop of post-colonial nation-building.  Excursions will include heritage sites, museums, places of worship, government agencies and historic landmarks as well as popular sightseeing attractions. The experience will provide students with an understanding of the factors that transformed Singapore from a trading village into a 21st-century model for nation-building.
