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).
- There are no prerequisites for these courses, and students must take both courses.
- Most students will live in either our nearby Gravity Apartments or with a local host family. This allows 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 them with their own eyes!

Summer Internship Program (MUDEC alumni only)
Students have multiple ways to pursue internships in Luxembourg, capitalizing on the network of relationships that MUDEC has built up since the program was founded in 1968. They will travel over and live and work there 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.
All students applying to the Internship Program must be alumni of the MUDEC program and have been to Luxembourg on a Miami program previously.
Most students will live in either our nearby Gravity Apartments or with a local host family. This allows the opportunity to interact with local people and learn about everyday life in Luxembourg.

- 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.
- Exact study tour travel dates and times will be finalized by the individual professor at the beginning of the summer. Do not make any travel plans during study tours until you have confirmed travel dates with your professors. Should you have further questions, please contact the professor directly.
- Billing and Payment - Tuition and administrative fees are billed to the student's bursar account in accordance with the university's billing timeline, and should be paid prior to the start of the program. For more information, see Financial Aid (OneStop).
- Education Abroad Workshop Cancellation and Tuition Refund Policy - You must officially withdraw from a credit workshop registration by 12:00 p.m. (noon) on the last business day before the start of the workshop to receive a tuition refund. Workshop administrative fees and program fees are non-refundable unless the workshop is cancelled by Miami University. Failure to attend, non-payment, or contacting the workshop director is insufficient notice. To officially withdraw from a workshop, you must complete the Education Abroad Cancellation and Refund Request, as well as reach out to luxembourg@miamioh.edu to notify them of your status change.
- Administrative Fee Refund Policy - The $175 administrative fee is charged upon course registration and is non-refundable.
- Program Fee - This includes the deposit and expenses for activities occurring during the workshop.
- Program Fee Deposit - Deposits are used to hold your spot in the program. Students are admitted on a first come-first serve basis and program fee deposits will be charged at the start of the next month.
- Payment Process - As a part of your commitment, a NON-REFUNDABLE program fee deposit and $175 Education Abroad administrative fee will be placed on your Miami Bursar account on the first week of the month. This charge due date will follow the One-Stop Monthly Billing Schedule. The remaining non-refundable program fee balance will be charged to the student’s bursar account, following Miami’s tuition schedule. Program fees can be paid with scholarships, financial aid, or 529 plans only with the coordination of the Education Abroad office. Remember to check your bursar to avoid late fees.
- Program Fee Refund Policy - The program fee payments are non-refundable unless otherwise stated within the application.
All fees are subject to change without notice, though Miami University will try to avoid this whenever possible. All summer and winter session courses and credit workshops are enrollment contingent, and are subject to cancellation due to low enrollment.
