SEMESTER PROGRAMS
There is no better way to improve
your German than a study abroad experience. You will not only improve your
language skills but gain cultural competency, a huge asset in the global society
of today.
We offer a variety of study abroad opportunities for German. Students may
choose between a year long stay, or spending just one semester abroad. The
German program offers also a limited number of scholarships
for studying abroad. Most existing financial aid and scholarships can be applied
to tuition costs.
