All students in good standing at Washington University may apply to the summer program. A minimum of one semester of German or the equivalent is required. Weekends are free. Placement in courses is determined by a test which students take at Washington University and upon arrival. The number and level of Washington University credits depend on the students' performance during the summer.
Credit is awarded retroactively.
Performance is evaluated by the German instructor and the Washington University staff member in residence. Failure to attend class will automatically reduce the number of credits awarded . All instruction is in German. Class size ranges from 20-25 students. Composition of classes will vary and fellow students will very likely not be speakers of English.
