Study Abroad Programs
Country-Focused Summer Programs
During the summer term, we invite students from around the world to participate in a series of interdisciplinary, country-focused programs that are specially designed to equip you with particular knowledge of France, Germany, Spain, Great Britain, or the United States.
At the Madrid, Paris, London and Florida campuses, you take both a social-science-based course - examining the contemporary politics and social issues of the host country - and a humanities-based course focusing on significant aspects of its cultural history. The goal is to provide a basis for understanding the development of contemporary social values in each nation.
If you do not wish to pursue language studies, you can choose a third class from a variety of other courses. In Madrid and Heidelberg, students have the further option of studying Spanish or German, respectively, by taking one or more intensive (20 hours/week) four- or eight-week language courses.

BA 481 Doing Business in the U.S.A.
EC 380 The British Economy
