Study Abroad in Turkey

A fascinating blend of Middle Eastern, Islamic, and Mediterranean cultures, Turkey is a country rich in history and tradition. With its bid to join the European Union, it has become a key international player in relations between Europe and the Middle East. Recent internal conflicts between religious conservatives and the republic’s firm tradition of secularism make this a pivotal point in Turkish national history.

Life in Ankara, the capital, offers a vantage point from which you may directly observe the debates over Turkey’s future while experiencing firsthand the intermingling of past and present in the city’s architecture, cuisine, lifestyles, and culture. From the citadel, where a Roman temple and an Ottoman mosque share walls and where traditional crafts are maintained, to the hip cafés, shopping malls, and performance venues, Ankara invites you to explore this captivating country and meet its warm and gracious people.
