Study Abroad

Time spent living and studying outside the United States invariably enriches students' engagement with normative questions of law and public policy, and therefore the PPEL faculty strongly encourages majors to study abroad. Countries in which PPEL majors have studied abroad include Argentina, Australia, The Czech Republic, England, France, India, Ireland, Italy, Nepal, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Scotland, Spain, Switzerland, and Tanzania.

Considerations

While the five core courses in the PPEL major (ECON 101, PPEL 261, PPEL 262, PPEL 363, and PPEL 401) must be completed at the University of Richmond, students may fulfill any other requirement within the major during their study abroad, provided the PPEL faculty approve the course for that purpose. Students are strongly encouraged to meet with the PPEL Coordinator to discuss earning credit toward the major before they begin their study abroad program.
