Drs. Johnson, Vogel, and Lanter are the professors on the Ireland study abroad trip that is annually held in May-June. Classes are held outside in nature at historic sites and students are given free time to explore cities for themselves. The history department encourages all students to look into taking a study abroad trip during your time here at Kutztown.
