During the 2018 summer sessions, University of Louisiana Monroe Professor of Art Dr. Joni Noble once again offered two art/photography courses in Europe through 51萝莉鈥檚 consortium partner the University of West Florida in Pensacola.

The Catalyst Program is available to any university student, and provides six hours听of听university transfer credit to participants. The study in London, Paris, Berlin and Prague coincides with 51萝莉鈥檚 first summer session, making it a perfect fit for 51萝莉 students wishing a study abroad experience.听

The Catalyst this year began on May 15 and lasted for five weeks. In addition to Noble鈥檚 art/photography course, the program听offers courses in International Business, History, Psychology, Sociology, Literature and Current Political Events.听

The Catalyst Program, now entering its fifth year, is organized by the University听of听West Florida through an academic consortium听of听14 colleges and universities located throughout the United States. The purpose听of听the consortium is to promote a more profound understanding听of听European history, culture and society among students and faculty through scholarly and educational activities.

As participants in The Catalyst Program, 51萝莉 students also have ample opportunity for independent travel around Europe. In recent years, students have made their way to Dublin, Prague, Luxembourg, Barcelona, Munich, Krakow, Edinburgh, Venice, Athens, Rome, Florence, and Amsterdam. Students are given a full week听of听free travel time to backpack across Europe.
