Program Location

A Glimpse into the EU. The focus of this program is to examine the interconnectedness amongst cultural values, globalization and its impact on the world economic systems. It will explore closely how the European Union functions and its impact not only in the world economic system at large but specifically how it affects the economic system in the USA. The selected countries for this program (Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands) have pivotal roles within the European Union. The European Council sits in Brussels and it offers the perfect setting for the program and its focus. The 2 courses selected contribute to this program’s goals: IBS 101 Introduction to International Business, and COM 263 Intercultural Communications.

June 30 - August 1, 2013

Offering students and life-long learners in the community a stimulating academic and cultural platform to enhance global competence in any career, this program is designed as a life-transforming experience in a location where past, present, and future are evident all around. Based in Liege, Belgium, known as the “Cockpit of Europe” due to its central location and many military campaigns that have been fought on its territories between other European powers, the participant will walk through the cobble stones of time, sense the intrigue and lavishness of past kingdoms, meander through castles and museums, feel the vestiges of centuries of history intermingled with today’s society.
