Western Europe is at your doorstep, and you’ll have ample opportunity to explore it if you choose the FSB Luxembourg 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 holds classes each morning, Monday through Thursday, providing long weekends for travel.  Field trips may include SAP International Headquarters in Heidelberg to address e-commerce, and companies in Lux City for a discussion of current business trends in the European Union.  There will be cultural trips to Trier and Hamm, Germany, to name a few.  Classes end at noon on Thursdays to enable weekend travel.
