TIRES
EXCHANGE PROGRAM
The social and political consequences of international
migration constitute one of the most important contemporary
issues facing the United States, EU member countries,
and many other areas in the world.
TIRES stands for Transnationalism, International
migration, Race, Ethnocentrism and the State,
the name of a new exchange and training program. Starting
in fall 2001, students have an exciting opportunity
to receive a MOBILITY GRANT
to study abroad for a full year on TIRES-related subjects
at four European and four U.S. universities.

Participants
will be expected to take a full load of courses
at the host university under the guidance of a TIRES
faculty mentor. Credits earned during the program
will later appear as transfer credits.
REQUIREMENTS FOR PARTICIPATION
This
program is open to all who are degree- seeking students,
have at least upper division status during the
year of exchange,
and who have demonstrable interest in the program
themes. Admission to the program will be on basis
of selection by a TIRES faculty committee and will
be contingent on the subsequent approval of the
host university.
