Summer 2024 (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 requirements of the Global Miami Plan curriculum and are taught by two Ohio-based Miami professors.
- 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 their learning about and to see it with their own eyes! Students planning to go in Summer 2024 are likely to go to destinations like Southern France to explore the rich history of Rome throughout Europe.
HST 229: The World Wars
Survey of the era of the world wars (1914-1945) with an emphasis on the global experiences of the conflicts and on the experiences of ordinary people in the Great War and World War II.

Summer 2024 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.
Tuition and fees are based on 2022-23 rates. These are initial estimates.

General Summer Workshop Information
Please note that while the MUDEC program typically does not have class instruction on weekends, there are occasionally required weekend course-related activities and lectures.
- 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.
- 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.
- Our MUDEC Center utilizes two summer sessions, Summer I and Summer II for administrative purposes and specific faculty-led and individual opportunities.
- All Summer Base and Internship students should follow the Summer I calendar.
