Global Finance

May 19- June 19, 2027

United Kingdon - Belgium - France - Germany - Switzerland - Austria

This program is an opportunity for students to learn about global finance by studying the European Union and the euro currency in some depth. We will visit the European Central Bank, the European Parliament and several relevant museums. We will learn about how euros trade, how exchange rates are set, and how European policies are determined. Students will also have opportunities to visit a few companies and to see culturally significant sites.
