The Edinburgh & London trip during Spring Break 2025 will offer an opportunity to explore the history, government, economics, and agriculture of two constituent countries of the United Kingdom (Scotland and England), as well as the economics of European integration and the recent exit of the UK from the European Union. During the class time prior to the trip, students will discuss the recent history of the UK's relationship with the rest of the European continent with a focus on the motivations for Brexit and the resulting impacts of the UK leaving the EU.
The visit to Scotland will provide an opportunity to understand regional tensions within the UK, while the visit to London will provide an opportunity to explore a major world metropolis whose growth and prosperity are intimately linked with international trade and globalization. The trip will also offer opportunity to visit farms in Scotland and England.
3 credits of ECON 4960 during the spring 2025 semester.
This program is typically offered every other spring break. Program was last offered in spring 2023.
Important Note Regarding Missing Classes
Please note that participation on some travel courses require you to be away from campus for some school days. The College of Agriculture & Life Sciences tries to minimize the number of days missed for this purpose, but in some events, the inflexibility of the travel schedule prevents us from working completely within our breaks. Should you choose to enroll in a travel course that requires missing some class(es) on campus, you will need to contact your instructor directly to inquire whether or not arrangements can be made to make up this class work and/or exams. The CALS Study Abroad office can provide you with a letter explaining the dates of the trip. However, it is your responsibility to contact the instructor to determine the potential impact on your grade before signing up for a Study Abroad program. The instructor is responsible for determining the impact of any absence from class.
