About the Program
The Master's program "Cultural Landscapes - Landesgeschichten im transatlantischen Vergleich" (Regional Histories in Transatlantic Comparison) focuses on the comparative study of the emergence, development, and evolution of cultural landscapes in Europe and the USA. The program is conducted through several cooperations (University of Thorn/Torun, Poland - Flagler College, St. Augustine, Florida) and the Chair of Franconian Regional History at Julius-Maximilians-University in Würzburg.
