Sacred Heart University has launched its newest study abroad opportunity in the heart of Europe at SHU's own campus in Luxembourg. Luxembourg - one of the founding members of the European Union and one of three capitals of the European community - is itself a wonderful country to visit with beautiful sights, a cosmopolitan city center and a thriving banking and corporate community. Day visits to the surrounding countries of France, Germany and Belgium will make your experience a truly European one. Check out the links to the left for more information on Luxembourg and the trips and activities which are part of the program.
