Desktop Computer According to Mark Lund, director of Luther study abroad
programs, the Scandinavia and the Baltic program is open to any
student, sophomore or above,
interested in learning about
other cultures in this part of the world. No previous experience
in the Norwegian language is required for the program, though
there are optional courses taught in Norwegian.
Notebooks Courses are taught by faculty out of Lillehammer and surrounding
Norwegian and Baltic regions.
Lenovo Some of the professors teaching courses in the program have
previously taught at the institutions participating in the program.
Birgit Jaastad, Norwegian Literature and Cultural History professor
taught at Augustana, Verlyn Andersen, Scandinavian History and
Immigration professor is a professor from Concordia College, and
Per Brandsaeter and Ronnaug Hovhaugholen, professors in the
Norwegian Culture, Language, and Life course have previously taught
at Luther.
Hard Drive There are two course tracks available for students to choose.
Courses taught in English include Norwegian Culture, Language, and
Life, Comparative Religions, Scandinavian History and Immigration,
and Contemporary Issues in Scandinavia and the Baltic: Integration
and Paideia II credit.
Travelstar The second track allows students to choose two courses from the
first track except Norwegian Culture, Language, and Life. The other

Laptop Parts "After studying in the textbook," said Lund, "the students get
the opportunity to gain experience through travel. Traveling and
being able to talk with
people native to the area make
the books come alive."
Software According to Lund, cultural differences confronted in
conversations make for some interesting conversation.
Hard Drives "In Norway, many of the citizens are concerned about the
Americanization of their country and are concerned about losing
their culture. In the Baltic region, it is interesting to see
people who have been under communism and to see commercialization
in a different setting," Lund said.
Electronics The idea for the program began in 1993-94 when Luther College's
president at the time, George Anderson wanted to expand study
abroad programs to promote intercultural understanding where the
students would not necessarily need to speak the language, said
Lund.
Canon Planning discussions began with Harley Refsal, Kathleen Stokker
and John Christianson of Luther's Scandinavian studies department
and Brandsaeter and Hovhaugholen, who taught at Luther in 1994-95.
Lund acted as the broker in the middle, talking to both sides.
Desktop Pc Brandsaeter, student life director for the program, is in charge
of the housing, meals, and transportation arrangements. Housing is
set in Lillehammer's former Olympic housing, meals are eaten in the
college cafeteria and student housing and transportation means
include trains, buses and provided bicycles.
