The language classes are combined with lectures on cultural and historic topics and with excursions to the opera, theater, and surrounding areas of Dresden.
Students earn one academic credit.
I would say that studying abroad should be a graduation requirement. After 40 years of neglect under East German rule, Dresden has recently enjoyed a rebirth, as, one by one, the great baroque structures of the 17th and 18th centuries, including the Zwinger, considered by some the greatest example of baroque architecture, are being restored to their original condition. This is a wonderful time to be in Dresden to watch as the city gradually regains its former splendor. Dresden is an ideal location from which to explore the eastern part of Germany and the great cities of Central and Eastern Europe. Berlin is only two hours by car to the north, while Prague is located two hours to the south.
