Summer Base Program

A shorter version of the renowned MUDEC experience, the Miami Summer in Luxembourg is an ideal choice for students who may not have the opportunity to study for a semester in Luxembourg. The six-credit-hour program offers courses in various disciplines that can be used for a Thematic Sequence, Global Perspectives, or other Miami Plan Foundation requirements in only six to seven weeks.

Courses for the Miami Summer in Luxembourg satisfy the requirements of the Global Miami Plan curriculum.

  • Classes typically meet Monday through Thursday (although some Fridays may be required.) One 6-day (5-night) faculty-led study tour is embedded in the program.
  • There are no prerequisites for these courses, and students must take both courses.
  • Most students live in a European homestay and therefore have an inside view of the local culture. They have the opportunity to interact with local people and learn about everyday life in Luxembourg.

As part of the experience, students also take a 5-7 day trip to a European location known as a study tour. This hands-on experience complements the content learned in the classroom by allowing students the opportunity to visit the places they are learning about and to see it with their own eyes! Students planning to go in Summer 2025 are likely to head to a warm-weather destination in Southern Europe to explore topics covered in one of their two course offerings.

Summer Internship Program

Students have multiple ways to pursue internships in Luxembourg, capitalizing on the network of relationships which MUDEC has built up since the program was founded in 1968. They will travel over and live and work in Luxembourg during the 6-7 week summer term. MUDEC will help to organize internship opportunities through our zero-credit workshop. As a result, students will gain a fantastic experience and a resume builder while living and traveling throughout Europe.

General Summer Workshop Information

  • This calendar should be taken as tentative until the final calendar is published and noted as final.
  • Students on the summer program are allowed to be in the Schengen region for a total of 90 days including the program dates. Therefore, it is possible to travel independently after the program ends but students must depart no later than their 90th day in Europe. For more information on countries that are included in the Schengen region, please consult the US State Department website. Note that these are legal requirements, not Miami University policies.
