May Term in Luxembourg

Students can spend springtime (mid-May to mid-June) studying in the heart of Western Europe during the May Term.

THE MONTH-LONG MAY TERM

Each May Term, three courses are offered by Holy Cross and Clark University professors. Each course is taught in an intensive one-month format, and features field trips to local and regional sites. Whenever possible, an added dimension will be provided by guest lecturers from the European community. Each course carries one full unit of course credit, has no prerequisites, and can be used to satisfy a common area designation. For more information, please visit Clark University's May Term website.

THE LURE OF LUXEMBOURG

Surrounded by France, Germany and Belgium, Luxembourg is located at the crossroads of European cultures and thereby uniquely situated to give students and scholars a varied and stimulating European experience. Schengen's own location in centrally located Luxembourg emphasizes this geographical advantage and the international character of the country. As part of the May Term experience, students will explore the countryside, and broaden their classroom learning with field trips in and around Luxembourg. Students interested in languages will have an opportunity to experience French and German in their native settings.
