In addition to a lecture and seminar series delivered by some of leading scholars on European integration, the course will incorporate visits to NATO headquarters, EU headquarters, and a briefing from the Canadian delegation to the EU. There will also be cultural visits as time allows.

Students will receive credit for a one-semester course (the equivalent of 3 credit hours at an American university).
