The Normandy Scholar Program's (NSP) academic focus is the Second
World War. While a strong interest in the origins of the War and its
multiple aspects is a prerequisite, the Program is in fact much more.
According to its alumni, it is also a life-enhancing experience.
The NSP brings together each spring semester about 20 students from
different backgrounds and different majors who take the same courses,
share the same challenges, travel together in May with the NSP
faculty, and form a community of friends whose bonds last a lifetime.
Beyond the study of history, the readings, the papers assigned, the
guest lectures, the film showings, the meetings with WWII combatants
and Holocaust survivors, and the opportunity to visit WWII sites in
Europe, perhaps the most striking feature of the program is the
personal development and intellectual growth it fosters.
