Together, SUNY Cortland and Lancon Education have created a study abroad experience unlike any other. While abroad, you will tour several European countries, exploring sport in a new cultural context and learning about the globalization of sport from top European executives. This program was developed from within the European sport community, so it offers a uniquely in-depth perspective of sports in Europe and an inside view of how international federations operate.
