The Site
Ireland is an island on the western edge of Europe and is a member of the European Union. Ireland's capital is Dublin, a cosmopolitan, Georgian city of approximately one million people. Dublin offers a wide variety of amenities, including theaters, cinemas, and parks. CAPA Dublin is located on the Griffith College campus, allowing students to have a true Irish university experience while living less than a 15-minute walk from Central Dublin.
The Program
This eight-week summer program gives you insight into the significant ways in which Dublin has been imagined, reinvented, and transformed by globalization. Earn 6 or 9 credits. Explore the diversity of cosmopolitan Dublin with our My Global City events: Tour medieval castles, celebrate the “dark side” at the Bram Stoker festival or check out “Google town”.
Courses, Internships, and Concentrations
Earn 6-9 credits during the summer term (courses are 3 credits unless otherwise noted; internships are 3-6 credits).
