Music of the 19th Century and Symphonic Music
SUMMER 2009 (Three weeks)
Participants will study the music of the 19th Century (romantic period/1825-1900) or Symphonic Music, depending on your registration. Societal trends of the times and how they affected the arts will be discussed in detail. Study of this will be enhanced through visits to museums, concert halls, cathedrals, other historic venues and attendance of live concerts in the culturally rich cities in which we will stay.
Application Deadline: February 15, 2009, although late applications may be taken. Contact the International programs Office on available space. Application requires a $250 deposit to secure a spot. Group limit is 20 participants.

Most seminars are open to all majors and minors, not simply those whose field/s matches the department/s granting credit. For continuing UWSP students a minimum GPA of 2.25 is required.
Priority is given to regularly registered UWSP students, but students from other universities and community members are welcome to apply. All participants will be registered in a college course, for credit or audit at the same cost, and will be expected to participate in the program at an intellectual level.
We do work on a first come, first serve basis, so early registration is strongly advised. Priority is given to regularly registered UWSP and UW-System students, but others, may participate either for credit or as auditors on a space-available basis and at the same cost. All participants, whether students or auditors and regardless of age, must be able to participate in the program at the college level, and stand up to the considerable physical rigors of this course (carrying your luggage on public transit systems and extensive walking are common).
Music of the 19th Century or Symphonic Music for three transferable UW-SP undergraduate credits.
Graduate credit can also be arranged at an extra cost and requires a research project after the trip. Other Music Independent Study options can be arranged with Professor Doebler. The above courses can be audited at the same price although students registering for credit are given priority for admission.

Students wishing to stay in Europe after the program is completed may do so with an extra charge for airfare, although they will have to arrange and pay for their own room, board, travel and other expenses during the extra days.
Up to ten weeks before the start of the program, all fees except the initial $250 deposit will be refunded. After the time, tuition, airline, tour costs and housing charges are assessed. If the program would be cancelled, all fees will be refunded. Because exchange rates and airline prices fluctuate, International Programs reserves the right to cancel, surcharge, or to alter the program.
