This is an exciting opportunity for undergraduate students pursuing degrees at US and Canadian universities to study the EU up close with
leading experts from both sides of the Atlantic; and to gain an understanding of the "real world" of EU institutions through discussions
with officials and site visits in Brussels, the political capital of the European Union. The program includes site visits to EU institutions in
Brussels and Luxembourg, along with several special group activities and meals. This five-week program will run from July 12th to August 13th ,
2010. Applications are due March 12th, 2010.

an EU simulation module. Students will earn 12 University of Washington quarter credits (equivalent to 8 semester credits) upon successful
completion of the program.
