This introduction to Vietnam is for travelers who want to make the most of their time in the country. The course begins with an overview of Vietnamese culture and society, followed by a session featuring highlights from Vietnam’s long history. Finally, we discuss the challenges that a once impoverished, war-torn country now faces as the fastest-growing economy in East Asia.
