Location: Freiburg, Germany

Description: 

Now a modern, cosmopolitan city, Freiburg is also a beautiful university and medieval cathedral town with a rich educational heritage within close proximity to the French and Swiss borders, the Black Forest, and the Alps. Organized in cooperation with the distinguished Albert-Ludwigs-Universität, the program offers rigorous undergraduate study in disciplines such as German Language and Literature, Communications, Economics, History, Humanities, International Relations, Science, and Social Sciences.

Terms: 

• Full Year
• Fall
• Winter/Spring

Requirements: 

• Full Year students must take at least one “regular” University course taught in German for local university students during the Fall Quarter and two regular courses during the Winter/Spring Quarters.
• Winter/Spring Quarters-only students must take one “regular” University course taught in German for local university students.
• Read Internships and Service Learning for specific information about earning credit for internships.

Recommended: The German Department and the Study Abroad Office strongly encourage students to study abroad in Germany for the full year. If students can only study abroad in Germany for one term, they are encouraged to do so during the Winter/Spring Quarters because they are better prepared in terms of language, and they can enroll in regular university courses.
