Today Poland lies at the heart of the ‘new Europe’ created by the accession of ten East European countries into the European Union in 2004.  Poland is a country with a rich history that dates back to 966, yet also promises to become one of the important political and economic centers of the European Union.  Its varied natural landscape, historic architecture, and famous hospitality make Poland a unique location for a study abroad experience.
