Western Europe is at your doorstep, and you’ll have ample opportunity to explore it if you choose the Luxembourg-Spain Summer Workshop. You’ll attend classes at Miami’s John E. Dolibois European Center of Miami University, housed in a historic chateau in Differdange. Your stay with a host family will offer enhanced opportunities for cultural interaction and understanding. This six-week program is split between Luxembourg and Spain and will hold classes each morning, Monday through Thursday, providing long weekends for travel. In Barcelona we are hosted by IES and you live with host families.  Field trips may include SAP International Headquarters in Heidelberg to address e-commerce, and Deloitte in Lux City for a discussion of accountability and corporate governance under the European regulatory regime.  There will be cultural trips to Trier, the Sagrada Familia, Gaudi's La Pedrera, and the Picasso Museum.  Classes end at noon on Thursdays to enable weekend travel.
