This program is an opportunity for students to learn about global finance by studying the European Union and the euro currency in some depth. We will visit the European Central Bank, the European Parliament and several relevant museums. We will learn about how euros trade, how exchange rates are set, and how European policies are determined. Students will also have opportunities to visit a few companies and to see culturally significant sites.

Preparation

Accepted students are required to participate in an international cross-cultural preparation course (IAS 201R, 1 credit hour).

This evening class will be held on Thursdays from 5:00 to 6:50 PM during the second block of winter semester 2027.

International study programs are physically, emotionally, and mentally taxing and you must be in good health to participate. These programs often take place in international locations that do not have the same level of safety and services in terms of transportation, living conditions, residential accommodations, food, public behavior, and policing that you may be used to on campus. If you have further questions or concerns on this, please see our travel policy.
