Why should we care about Europe? Why does the European financial crisis matter to us?
Is there a European Culture? Is the European Union relevant to the US?
Are we competitors or allies? Can we learn from each other?

European History, European Politics, Geography, Economics, and Government to infuse
current information on Europe, the European Union and Transatlantic Relations into the classroom.

and continuing education credits through Old Dominion University’s Center for Economic Education.
