St. Thomas graduate students have the opportunity to study abroad. Here are two offerings.
Business, Law and Ethics in the European Union (BLAW 714) – June 4-16, 2006

You will then travel to the heart of the EU – Brussels, Belgium – where you will meet the German students and learn through on-site interactive visits, cultural immersion, discussion and reflection.
This adventure includes meetings with executives from multinational companies, government officials and nongovernmental organizations, and will address business, legal, business ethics and corporate social responsibility issues as well as economic, socioeconomic, political and cultural issues within the European Union and their impact on conducting business in a global economy.
The course ends in Trier, Germany, where you will attend classes and finalize your contracts. Travel dates are June 4-16, 2006.
