United State of America
- Spring
This domestic “Study-USA” trip will follow the flow of financial capital as it travels through the supply chain. We will visit Omaha, NE, with key visits at Cooperative Offices. Financial capital is a critical component of U.S. and global agricultural and food systems. From funding major investments in the food and fuel sector to the purchase and operation of farm operations. This class seeks to help students better understand the importance of financial capital and the role that Cooperatives play in U.S. Agriculture.
Participating students will meet five to six times before travel and earn 1 credit of Econ 4950 during the spring 2026 semester. Class will start meeting on the Monday after Spring Break.
Travel Dates: Depart approximately 5pm on April 15th and return approximately by 5 pm on April 18th.
Important Note Regarding Missing Classes
Please note that participation on some travel courses require you to be away from campus for some school days. The College of Agriculture & Life Sciences tries to minimize the number of days missed for this purpose, but in some events, the inflexibility of the travel schedule prevents us from working completely within our breaks. Should you choose to enroll in a travel course that requires missing some class(es) on campus, you will need to contact your instructor directly to inquire whether or not arrangements can be made to make up this class work and/or exams. The CALS Study Abroad office can provide you with a letter explaining the dates of the trip. However, it is your responsibility to contact the instructor to determine the potential impact on your grade before signing up for a Study Abroad program. The instructor is responsible for determining the impact of any absence from class.
