*The Holocaust and Genocide Studies Independent Study-Travel course, HGS 596, is a 3 credit graduate course. Tuition is paid like any other course. Students need to submit a request to the Registrar to register for HGS 596 as they cannot register themselves. Students may request registration once they have been accepted to an approved travel-study program and have received permission from the program director/advisor. Students must provide proof of participation in the trip, such as a letter from the program organizers, as well as a detailed itinerary. The trip should be Holocaust/Genocide related and be a destination outside of the United States. Common destinations are Eastern Europe and Yad Vashem seminars in Israel. To earn graduate credit, students must keep a daily log of sites visited, learning experiences, impressions and reflections to be turned in to an appointed professor. The log should be approximately one typed page per day. At the master's level, students must also write a 20-page research paper on a topic relevant to the trip, which must be approved by the appointed professor. The paper and log are due no later than the end of the summer session B. (Most approved programs are run in the summer.) Students may take only one international trip to be used toward credit in the Holocaust and Genocide Studies program.
