PROGRAM INFORMATION This proposed faculty-led program would be offered for 14 credits during the Spring term, tentatively scheduled Spring 2021. Program Rationale: The Transatlantic Security Program will provide students with both knowledge of historical and institutional development of Transatlantic Security policies and access to organizations and experts who are involved in the policy process. Since 1949, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has brought together North American and European states to meet collective defense needs as well as serve as a broad security framework in Europe. As the European Union (EU) has evolved, particularly since adoption of the Maastricht Treaty in 1992, foreign, security, and defense policies and institutions have been created and deepened. The overlapping territorial focus of both organizations, their contemporaneous evolution, and mix of member states and interests make comparisons between NATO and the EU interesting. Both international organizations, NATO and the EU, have their headquarters in Brussels and a residential semester program would provide an opportunity to supplement classroom learning with access to both organizations as well as to security experts working in think tanks and other NGOs in Brussels.

  • Cherrington Global Scholars Travel Arrangements
    Cherrington Global Scholars Travel Benefit Study Abroad Fall 2016 Congratulations on qualifying as a Cherrington Global Scholar! As one of your benefits, the University of Denver will pay for your roundtrip ticket to your program site; however, it is your responsibility to book your flight(s). Please read this information carefully; failure to do so may result in forfeiture of your benefit. We strongly encourage you to book a single ticket, whenever possible, which means using the same airlines or partner airlines to avoid any rebooking issues if your plane is delayed or you miss a flight. You are required to book a round-trip ticket, meaning that you need to book both an outgoing and return flight. If you are not able to fly directly to/from your host city, transportation coverage will also include rail or bus fares to/from your host city to/from your airport arrival city. You will need to submit rail/bus receipts to the Office of International Education in order to be reimbursed (further instructions below). When should I book my ticket? You should plan to book tickets by June 1, 2016, though you must wait until you have been accepted to your program and know your official program dates. If you wait until after June 1 to book your ticket, costs may be higher than the travel limits, and you will be responsible for paying the difference in fares (exceptions are made for students who are not yet accepted to their study abroad program by June 1). Students who will depart in July should plan to book early in May for more availability in flights.
