Europe Trip Course ABIZ 2120

Students,

Thank you for your interest in the Europe Course 61.212 (World Agribusiness Study Tour). The course is offered depending on student interest and availability of instructor. The course typically covers about two weeks in June.

We may offer the course next year, possibly June, 2008. So please check this space on the website for any updates in fall/winter. At this point, we are getting names and emails of students who may be interested in the course for next year.

Choice of the two possible alternatives, A) or B):

A) 5 country Europe trip (London, Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels, Geneva). Cost roughly $4200 ($2150 course fee + $400 tuition +$1100 airfare + $550 your food/personal expenses).

B) England only, spend most of the time in and around London. Cost about $2950 ($900 course fee +$400 tuition +$1100 airfare +$550 food/personal exp). The cost is lower as students would stay in an apartment in London, and there would not be travel cost between countries. A sample of a possible itinerary is below.

Please indicate in an email which trip you would like us to offer, A) or B), in order to assist our planning for next year.

If you would like to email us, please include your name, year, major, Tel#, etc, and include "Europe" as the subject. We will add your name to the email list, and you will be updated regarding the course.

Thank you
