Special Programs

Education Abroad
Besides Muhlenberg’s traditional education abroad programs, an international program has been designed especially for students in the Accounting, Business, and Economics Department.  The program is offered through the Center for European Studies at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands and would generally be taken during the fall semester of the junior year (but fall semester enrollment during the senior year is possible).  In this program, students attend courses in European business, economics, and politics, taught in English.  Besides deepening global and cultural awareness, students have opportunities to travel to France, Belgium, and Germany, all of which are less than thirty minutes away, and meet business and political leaders from those countries.

Participating students take three courses as a cohort and, additionally, individually enroll in a fourth course selected from the University of Maastricht’s regular (English language) course offerings.  The three commonly enrolled courses have been approved by the faculty as Muhlenberg courses.  These courses are listed below with the department’s other regular course offerings. All business or economics courses enrolled by participating students may be used to satisfy major requirements.  Early consultation with your faculty advisor is encouraged

Semester in Washington, D.C.
Students who select this program have opportunities for accounting internships with public accounting firms, banks, government agencies and not-for-profit organizations. In addition to the internship experience, the program includes seminars and field trips drawing on the special cultural and political resources available in Washington. Participants also experience living and working in our capital with students from other Lutheran colleges throughout the United States. Students frequently opt for this program during their junior or senior year or during the summer months.
