International Summer Program

The Creighton University School of Law offers two courses for summer study in Nuremberg, Germany. Students enrolled in Creighton's summer abroad program "From Nuremberg to The Hague" spend just over four weeks in Germany and The Netherlands exploring the reaches of international criminal law, the impact of the Holocaust on the law, and the prosecution of war criminals and perpetrators of genocide and crimes against humanity.

The Germany program begins in July and runs thru early August. A student may participate in both the on-campus summer session and the Nuremberg program. To learn more about the Nuremberg program, click here.
