Advanced undergraduates are also encouraged to apply, provided they have the training and skills necessary to carry out a substantive research project on an urban or regional issue.
Students receive a living and travel stipend plus funding to attend the capstone seminars.
Students will also take at least one distance learning course and participate in a capstone seminar involving all students and selected faculty on the respective continent. The first exchanges take place during the 1999-2000 academic year. The program director can provide guidance regarding the formal application process, appropriate research topics, and faculty that most closely match the student's interests.
