Room and board will be the responsibility of the student. As part of BGSU's official partnership with the University of Salzburg, the Department of German, Russian and East Asian Languages offers an academic year abroad in Salzburg, Austria, a center of German-speaking culture at the heart of Europe. Qualified music students may also take courses at the Mozarteum, Salzburg's famous conservatory. The wide spectrum of courses and appropriate planning allow students of any major to fit a full year of study abroad into a four-year graduation schedule. An American program director resides in Salzburg but Austrian faculty teach the courses.
Students live in dormitories, in most cases with an Austrian roommate.
The program usually runs from Oct. 1 through June 30. Applications are accepted beginning in September of the previous academic year. The grade limit may be observed less strictly if the applicant has strong recommendations. These are open to students at all levels of language study from beginning to advanced.
