After a placement test, students work in small groups on their language skills. All of our students have made impressive progress, especially in communicating in German. In the afternoon, students can pursue their interests by choosing seminars ranging from literature, politics, economy to drawing, boating, sports, discussions, or photography. At this price, this is the least expensive European vacation anyone could take. And one learns the language to boot.
University professors teach the afternoon seminars of literature, philosophy, history, politics etc.
Food is inexpensive, since the students of the summer programs are entitled to eat in the state-subsidized student cafeterias. Often students go to Germany in the summer before or after they study in Rome, so that they buy only one airline ticket to Europe. If students complete the requirements, which are set before the trip by the German Program at the University of Dallas, transfer credit may be granted according to achievement. Faculty helps with arrangements Our instructors facilitate selection of programs, applications, and prepare assignments for credit. After the trip, we evaluate the possibility for transfer credit.
