COURSE OVERVIEW
I really enjoyed our tour around the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine. The amount of history and culture present blew my mind and I will never forget this experience!

You will learn directly from New Yorkers about life in a multicultural and multi-faith city. Visits to the United Nations and the 9/11 Memorial & Museum will challenge students to think critically about how religious affairs impact international policy.
