Overview
Located in the historic Château de Differdange in Luxembourg, the Miami University John E. Dolibois European Center (MUDEC) has been Miami University’s European campus since 1968. Named in honor of Miami alumnus and Luxembourg native John E. Dolibois (Class of 1942), a distinguished diplomat and U.S. Ambassador to Luxembourg, MUDEC provides an immersive study abroad experience for American undergraduate students while earning direct Miami University credits.
MUDEC’s academics are designed around global perspectives, cultural immersion, and experiential learning. Students typically take courses in political science, international business, European studies, and liberal arts, and many options include activities or field components tied to major EU institutions and key cultural sites. Because the center is based in Differdange, students can also plan excursions to hubs such as Brussels, Paris, Strasbourg, and Berlin—helping connect classroom topics to current transnational issues.
