Students have the option of living in an apartment with other students or, on a limited basis, living with an Italian family. Both the Vienna and the Macerata programs are sponsored by the Midwest Consortium for Study Abroad, in cooperation with AHA International. Another study abroad option exists for Concordia students who wish to minor in Spanish. Concordia offers students an opportunity to study abroad in Spain, or in Mexico for a semester, receiving up to12 semester hours of credit for their language minor. Students who spend a language-intensive semester abroad must have the equivalent of nine semester hours of credit in the language of the host country before going overseas for the semester.
Participants usually live with families in the host country.
Students desiring a minor in either German or French with a language-intensive semester abroad should confer with either the chair of the Division of Language and Literature or the Study Abroard Coordinator. For more detailed information about any of these programs, contact the Study Abroad Coordinator .
