In conjunction with the University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point, DePaul students may study during the Fall quarter in Kraków at the Jagiellonian University, the oldest university in Poland. To enhance their study of Polish society and culture, students travel extensively throughout Central Europe before classes begin. This program allows participants to study Poland’s rich history as they experience its dynamic emergence as an integral part of modern Europe. While there is no language prerequisite for this program, students study basic Polish at the Jagiellonian University.

For the first three weeks of the program, students tour Germany (Berlin), the Czech and Slovak Republics (Prague and Bratislava), Hungary (Budapest, Pécs, and Szeged), and Austria (Vienna) and meet with students from these countries to discuss current political issues and contemporary life in Central Europe. Students will receive one credit, INT 380, for the study tour. Upon arrival in Kraków, students then begin classes at the School of Polish Language and Culture of the Jagiellonian University.

Since the popularity of trace their beginnings expanded in the 1970′s, many families are continuing to trace their lineage, hoping to establish their true roots. Many people involved in Wisconsin genealogy claim it takes a special breed of people to endure and embrace the cold weather they often experience and believe their may be some clues in their family history as to how they can survive. For many others, Wisconsin genealogy attempts to find out not only where and from whom they are descended, but what type of people were able to bring them to the current location.

Prior to the use of the internet, Wisconsin genealogy was limited to public records and newspaper searches, most often having to be done in person and by hand. When information surfaced indicting that the family may have branched to another state or even to another country, the researcher often drew a dead end, lacking the time or resources to take their research to the next previous level. With the availability of the internet and the surging popularity of genealogy, it is much easier to contact others that may be involved in tracing their Wisconsin genealogy and learn what happened to other branches of the same family tree when they were spread to many other areas.
