Antioch Education Abroad (Antioch College)

Fall-Winter Quarter, Spring Semester, Full Year

Students attending this program also spend 4-8 weeks studying intensive German language on a program in Germany run by the Goethe Institute before the start of the university term. Credits for this program are posted to the Antioch transcript. Fall semester students participate in the 4-week summer intensive Goethe Institute program during August, while full-year students attend the 8-week summer intensive Goethe Institute program during July and August.  Fall-semester only students who wish to participate in the 8-week summer intensive program will be subject to additional Antioch program tuition fees, as well as the NU Study Abroad Administrative Fee for Summer Session if the additional courses are taken for credit.

Study Abroad in Germany: Term Options

• 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, we encourage them to do so during the spring semester (winter-spring quarters at Northwestern) for two reasons: First, spring semester students are better prepared in terms of language since they go to Germany with more German language background (assuming they take German the fall quarter before they study abroad, which we also strongly recommend). Second, spring semester students can enroll in regular university courses in Germany.
• If winter-spring is not an option, we encourage students to study abroad on the Antioch-Tuebingen program during Northwestern's fall and winter quarters, so that they can enroll in integrated university courses (which run until late January/early February).
• Students for whom neither of these terms is an option may study abroad during Northwestern's fall quarter only on IES-Freiburg and IES Berlin.
