The ISS in partnership with the Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs (HECUA) offers two interdisciplinary semester programs during the regular academic year to US students who have completed their freshman year. Both programs offer hands-on experience through field excursions and volunteer placements with government or community organisations in Oslo.

Scandinavian Urban Studies Term

Divided States of Europe: Globalisation and Inequalities in the New Europe

Term: February to May (spring semester)
Divided States of Europe examines the development of the European Union (EU) and contemporary democratic and social challenges, particularly the inclusion of the former communist nation-states of Central and Eastern Europe. Scandinavia and Poland are used as case studies in the program.
