Program Description
The 2013 Cuisine and Culture class  heads to a new destination, Portugal, where we will tour castles, visit open-air markets, learn about cheesemaking, and explore the art of wine making as we make our way through the beautiful countryside.  The program begins with classes on the West Lafayette campus covering topics such as history, language, architecture, food and safe traveling.  Over Spring Break, the class ventures abroad on an experiential tour of the region in question. Upon returning, students finish the course with reflective presentations and an exam.
