Headquartered at Virginia Tech's stunning Steger Center for International Scholarship in Riva San Vitale, Switzerland. This program explores Europe's political and economic rise in the 19th century, its collapse in the 20th century into world wars, and the rebuilding efforts -- including the establishment of the European Union Institutions, NATO, and a number of international organizations based throughout Europe -- after the Second World War, efforts which continue to today.
The program involves week-long excursions to Brussels, Strasbourg, Cyprus, Greece, Istanbul and Geneva where students will meet officials and academics at the world's major regional and international institutions, and examine a number of geopolitical issues that will impact European and Eurasian nations as well as North African countries for years to come.
Students will earn 15-18 credits in the Political Science and International Studies Program majors, and build toward one of three minors -- Global Engagement, European Engagement, and European Studies.
Students in all majors are welcome!
