About the Kasteel Well Summer Program
Each summer course is designed to enhance students’ understanding and interest in the topics of European Renaissance arts, history, geography, culture, and civilization along with learning how to reflect upon and critically analyze the medium of digital photography, from a technical, ethical, and aesthetic point of view.
Students attending this five-week program will be registered for 8 credits of undergraduate coursework that includes art history and digital photography components. Classes will be held Monday through Thursday at the castle with some Friday sessions. There are 20 contact hours per week for course lectures and 2–3 daily lecture hours per course within a week. Class contact hours include instruction time during educational excursions and field visits.
