The Department of Political Science and the University of Florida International Center (UFIC) are very pleased to announce an exciting and unparalleled opportunity for undergraduates in political science and across disciplines to study in Dublin, Ireland for six weeks in Summer 2008 (June 16-July 25).

A general information meeting on the Summer Political Studies in Dublin, Ireland Program will be held on Thursday, Nov. 15 from 4-5 p.m. in 216 Anderson Hall (across from the main office of the Political Science Department). Program Director Professor Richard Conley and Professors Leann Brown and Dan O’Neill will provide in-depth information on the courses offered, the excursions, and offer assistance with applications. As we expect this program to fill quickly, applications will be due to UFIC by 25 January 2008.
