Washingtion Semester Europe Program open to regular AU students
You are invited to join a rare "fact finding mission" to Europe this Spring 2012 when the Global Economics and Business Program travels to Brussels, Paris, and London to study the unfolding economic and political crisis in the Eurozone. As the largest economy in the world, what happens in Europe will have tremendous impact on the rest of the world, including the US. Will the common market in Europe and the 27-member countries that form the European Union survive the crisis? How are the large European Banks -- such as PNB-Paribus in France, and multinational companies -- such as Microsoft, KPMG, and Disney coping with the crisis? How are the different EU official institutions -- such as the EU Commission and Parliament addressing the crisis? We will also visit famed European centers of culture and business during our travels. Europe remains a vibrant center for business, arts, food, and music -- all of which you will have an opportunity to experience during our travels.
The travel program to Europe will be part of your sixteen-credit semester with AU’s Washington Semester Program. While in DC, we will be visiting with prominent policy and business experts including at the Federal Reserve, FDIC, SEC, the World Bank, and the IMF, as well as interacting with President Obama's top economic advisers at the White House Council of Economic advisers. Lastly, we will travel to New York, to the US financial capital in Manhattan for workshops at NYSE, CME, Standard & Poor's, etc. We still have openings for this spring 2012 if you would like to join what promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime study adventure.
