Field Trips
To enhance the academic curriculum and to provide cultural enrichment, field trips are arranged away from the CDE. Required trips to New York City and Washington, DC combine visits to financial institutions with time to explore the many activities of each city. Transportation, hotel room (based on double occupancy), and partial meal expenses for these trips are paid for by the CDE. Any accompanying family members do so at the student's expense and on a space available basis. Shorter field trips may be arranged by individual professors.
