Description

This program is designed to add a study abroad dimension to The Florida State University's baccalaureate and master's degree programs in International Affairs. The program is exceptionally rigorous academically and is ideal for graduate students and those undergraduates who are seeking a very demanding yet extremely rewarding program. All courses offered count toward the International Affairs major and the International Affairs minor.

Courses are taught in a stimulating seminar format that engages students in an active discussion of current issues of European politics such as the European Union and ethnic conflict. All students are required to take the full array of course offerings. In addition to formal course work, the curriculum includes a complementary program of lectures and briefings at various academic and governmental organizations. These may include meetings with members of Parliament, briefings at the Bank of England on the European single currency, sessions at the American Embassy, guest speakers from London universities, and representatives of multinational corporations operating in the United Kingdom. A highlight of the program is a trip to the continent on which students gain valuable insight into the workings of international organizations such as the European Parliament, NATO, the European Union and/or Human Rights organizations.

Eligibility
The program is open to students in International Affairs or in related disciplines.

Housing
