Description

Since 1970, FSU has offered students the chance to discover a world of hotels, restaurants, foods, and wines in the heartland of the European hospitality industry. This 5-week program achieves an ideal educational balance: accelerated classroom instruction, travel, and on-site observation of industry operations. Students benefit from a myriad of professional, cultural, and recreational attractions throughout Switzerland and neighboring countries.

Eligibility
This program is open to all interested students, but is of particular interest to Hospitality majors.

Housing
Participants will stay and take classes in a Swiss chalet dedicated solely to our program. Located just above the village, it offers comfortable bunk-bed accommodations, up-to-date baths, recreation room, dining room, and television lounge. Most bedrooms boast balconies with spectacular views. A European staff prepares and serves buffet-style meals each class day.

Highlights

The class schedule is structured to augment guest lectures and class meetings with course-related field trips. There will also be ample time for individual and small group travel, which provides a framework for the curriculum and program learning objectives. The Burgundy and Alsatian wine regions, the French and Italian Riviera, Paris, Barcelona, Florence, Venice, Rome, Salzburg, Vienna, Munich, Lucerne, and Amsterdam are but a few destinations that students often visit during independent travels.

Note: Because of the unique opportunity to travel to multiple countries while on this program, students are required to purchase a first-class multiple country Eurail pass for one month. Specific information regarding this requirement will be provided to all applicants. For general information regarding Eurail passes, please visit their website..
