Berguson, program director for the Telemark Gateway, says both programs look beyond Scandinavian heritage and focus on the “needed element” of studying contemporary Norway. “Our courses (in Scandinavian-area studies) and study away both strive to move students from an interest in heritage to an interest in how Norway approaches disciplines like business, alpine ecology and literature from their perspective,” she said.
