All of our European program students (London, Paris, Koblenz and Madrid participants) participate in a weeklong European Study Tour (last week of January) while abroad. This tour is designed to give our students an intense introduction to the aspects of the European Union. Each student will visit a pre-assigned EU country. During the visit, each student will meet with government and business experts to research their country’s attitudes about a specific issue. At the end of the week, each student will represent his or her country at a mini-parliament exercise in Brussels, Belgium where students will debate the current assigned issue.
Tuition for the programs listed above is at the current Washington University semester rate and all financial assistance awards and academic scholarships apply. Participants are able to complete all degree requirements in the usual four-year period.
