Students attend morning instruction on the German language, environment, art, music, media, and the collapse of the communist party in East Germany. Side trips to Berlin, Dresden and Weimar are also planned, along with excursions to the cities of Leipzig and Nuremburg. The program runs May 31- June 20, and students may earn nine semester credits. Stephen Infantino, of HSU modern languages, will be leading the group, which will attend classes at the 15th century university campus of the Institut Mediterraneen d'Etudes Francophones. It is an intensive, immersive study program.
Students use the community at large in their studies.
