Most courses taught by faculty members of the local university. Upon arrival, students participate in an intensive two-week orientation session that emphasizes German language instruction and an introduction to the city and university life in Freiburg. This course creates the framework for the program, thereby providing the necessary foundation for coursework and field study. Unless they test out at or near native fluency, students must enroll in a regular German language course at the appropriate level. Typically students enroll for 3 or 4 additional courses for a total load per semester of 16 credits.
Internships are available.
Each student is the only American in the residence, so students find it necessary to speak German constantly. Students rely on their own resources for meals, usually preparing some in their residences and taking others inexpensively in Freiburg's student cafeterias. Program Fee is subject to change.
