Program sites All programs and courses listed are tentative and subject to change, depending on student interest. Each site offers students the opportunity to earn 6 or 9 credits. Madrid, Málaga and Barcelona, Spain May 17–June 17, 2010 Students start out in Madrid, a vast, modern city, with a population of three million and growing. The heart of the city has wide tree-lined boulevards interspersed with pockets of medieval buildings and eighteenth-century Bourbon squares. After a few days in Madrid, students proceed to Málaga, a port city in Andalusia, on the Costa del Sol Mediterranean coast. This city of 500,000 is the very popular “capital” of Southern Spain. The beach is a ten-minute walk from the school. After a few weeks in Málaga, the program will move to Barcelona, a “24/7” city famous for fantastic architecture. The Spain program will include visits to U.S. and Spanish companies, historic sites and government offices, as well as a weekend in Morocco. Students will have the opportunity to independently visit other locations, such as one of the Balearic Islands or Lisbon. Tentative course offerings are: FIN 301, MGT 301, MKT 301 and all levels of Spanish. Augsburg, Germany May 17–June 17, 2010 and/or June 28–July 29, 2010 Augsburg is near the center of the Romantic Road and the gateway to the Alps. It was founded over 2,000 years ago by the Roman Emperor Augustus, for whom it is named. Once the wealthiest city in Europe, Augsburg boasts a staggering array of Renaissance art and architecture. In addition to a rich history, Augsburg has a vibrant Old Town center, with great shopping and dining opportunities. Augsburg is a fantastic location from which to explore Europe. Other places in Germany, as well as France, Italy, Switzerland and other countries are within easy reach by train. In addition to a long weekend trip to Prague, a weekend trip to either Interlaken in the Swiss Alps or to Berlin is planned, as well as group and course field trips to nearby locations such as the BMW headquarters in Munich. Tentative course offerings are: (1st session) ACC 207, DSC 210, MGT 301, REL 324, and all levels of German; (2nd session) MGT 301, MKT 301, OPS 301, and all levels of German. Other courses may be added depending on students’ interest. Rome, Italy May 17–June 17, 2010 Rome is simultaneously strident, romantic, and sensual—the “eternal city.” Getting around Rome is simple — much of the city is accessible by walking tours, which is highly recommended in order to truly experience the history embedded throughout the city. When looking to get to a destination in a hurry, Rome offers a city-wide bus system as well as an easy-to-navigate metro/subway. There are a number of day trips planned to historic sites, as well as visits to Italian and U.S. firms in Italy. The program will also include a long weekend field trip to the city of Sorrento on the extraordinarily beautiful Amalfi coast, with a stop in Pompeii. Independent weekend trips could include Florence, Venice, Pisa, Mila, Assisi, and many other locations. Tentative course offerings are: ECO 310 or 455; FIN 301; MIS 301; and all levels of Italian. Budapest, Hungary and Angers, France May 17–June 17, 2010 Students begin this program in Budapest, Hungary, an exciting city of two million which has become a dynamic, fast-changing hub for business in Central Europe. After about two weeks, the program moves to Angers, France, a beautiful, green and lively city in the Loire Valley in Western France with 160,000 inhabitants (including about 30,000 students). Paris is only a little over one and one half hours away by express train. This program combines two very different perspectives on contemporary European business and culture. A weekend stay at Interlaken, Switzerland, packed with fun alpine activities such as river-rafting and canoeing is planned, during the transfer from Budapest to Angers. Shorter excursions to local firms are planned in both Hungary and France. Tentative course offerings are: FIN 301, MKT 301, and all levels of French. ECO 461 and OPS 301 may be added depending on students’ interests. British and Celtic Capitals: London, England and Dublin, Ireland June 28–July 29, 2010 Students start off in London, the capital of England and a world financial hub, with two weeks of classes and field trips. As the home to Big Ben, Kew Gardens, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, and many other famous historical sites, London is one of the most visited cities in the world. The program then moves to Dublin with planned visits to Stonehenge and other points of interest en route. In the past ten years Dublin has become one of the “hottest” cities in Western Europe. Because the city is compact, most of the art, cultural, historic, and entertainment sites are located within walking distance of the city’s center. Students spend two weeks studying and enjoying the culture in Dublin. Tentative course offerings are: ACC 208, DSC 211, MIS 301, and ECO 340, 346 or 390.
