Ireland and United Kingdom
- Spring
The Ireland and UK trip during Spring Break 2027 will offer an opportunity to explore the history, government, economics, and agriculture of two constituent countries of the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland. During class time prior to the trip, students will discuss the recent history of the UK's relationship with the rest of the European continent with a focus on the motivations for Brexit and the resulting impacts of the UK leaving the EU. They will also learn about the evolving relationship between the UK and Ireland, and how Brexit has affected the Good Friday Accords and the relationship between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

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.
