SYE 4202 - Vienna

Hours: 3
A century ago, Vienna explodes with creative energy from psychologists, composers, painters, writers, natural scientists, and medical pioneers. Then, the shot, the blood, the open car speeding away for help: Sarajevo in 1914. The killing of the heir to the Austrian throne sends Central Europe down a death spiral that will lead to global horrors and slaughter on a monstrous scale, and end with wide-spread devastation and the stench of rotting flesh in 1945. In many views, another 30 Year’s War. Exploring the history, the environment, the culture of the city, and the events of 1914. Engaging the centennial commemorations of 1914 and comparing and contrasting the Vienna a century later while living and studying in a historic monastery in the heart of Vienna. A weekend in Budapest will add a Hungarian dimension. With the help of Austrian professors students, taking an interdisciplinary approach, including history, the arts, business and economy, and the social scene. Requires reflection, creates a lively interdisciplinary learning experience, and helps to “top off” the Otterbein experience.
