Living Arrangements
School of Public Service
School of Public Service: Brussels

This graduate program allows students to broaden their perspective on public-policy analysis and public service management in an international context. The course explores how globalization is affecting national governments and traditional cultures while encouraging the creation of international non-profits and supra-national governing agencies. Students will learn how large agencies, such as the European Union and NATO, are strengthening relationships and working more closely with grassroots organizations throughout the world.

COURSES

Dr. Joe Schwieterman of the School of Public Service will teach MPS 575 in the Winter Quarter for which students will earn four credit hours.

MPS 575 - Understanding the Global Public Sector: Impact and Influence of the EU and NATO
Professor Joseph Schwieterman, faculty member in the School of Public Service, leads graduate students on a week-long learning experience in the "Capital of Europe," Brussels. Participants will learn firsthand about international public services through observing the European Union public policy process and the impact of its broad effects on the United States, including partnerships with non-profits and NGOs. Students will interact with officials from NATO and the EU and spend a day at the European Parliament. In addition, students will have the opportunity to visit a variety of non-profit and non-governmental organizations based in Brussels.

LIVING ARRANGEMENTS

Students will stay at the historic Irish College in Leuven, about 20 minutes by train from Brussels. The College houses the Leuven Institute for Ireland in Europe, which will host the group from DePaul and organize their stay. Facilities at the Institute include en-suite rooms, conference rooms, and a dining room.
