Occasionally German 281 is taught by means of a tour of Germany. This is usually a three-week trip to various sites around Germany. Most students, however, go abroad either on their own or via the Foreign Language Abroad Program, whichever turns out to be cheaper. The Department maintains a current list of about thirty approved programs.
Students can go for two months or for an entire year.
Most students go during their junior year, and after they have had German 301. Recent choices for a program abroad have been the Goethe Institute language courses and the junior year abroad programs run by Wayne State University in Munich or the University of Illinois program in Vienna. There are also programs in business German and programs with internships. Consult Professor Connell for details. These are all programs for study during the academic year.
