Some of the centers also offer opportunities for internships in businesses and economics institutions in Europe. The college supports its own program in Nottingham, England, in association with the university there. The yearlong program accommodates 16 students and a Luther faculty member and family, all of whom live in facilities owned by Luther College. The group shares certain study experiences, but each participant is encouraged to pursue individual interests. A new program developed in conjunction with Concordia College in Moorhead, Minn., enables Luther students to spend a fall semester on the Mediterranean island of Malta.
Students participating in the program study the economy of Mediterranean countries firsthand.
Luther has established relationships with other overseas institutions through which our students are able to gain a semester or a full year of experience in another cultural and academic setting. Denmark's International Study Program in Copenhagen is especially attractive to those studying business because of its international emphasis. January term provides an opportunity for a variety of short-term study tours in foreign countries as well as in the United States. The college is a member of the Upper Midwest Association for Intercultural Education, a consortium of colleges organized to provide low-cost international study opportunities. During the past three years faculty have led January study programs to Malta, Norway, the Bahamas, the Canary Islands, Japan, Hong Kong, China, Kenya, Tanzania, Nepal, Germany, France, and Switzerland.
