Students receive Hope College transcripts and credits for work completed in Vienna. While in Vienna students are housed with Austrian families, most of whom live in city apartments. Students are free to plan their leisure time and to participate in planned weekend excursions to places such as Salzburg, Venice, Budapest, Prague, and the Austrian Alps. Students are free to make their own transatlantic travel arrangements allowing them to include free time both before and after the academic sessions in Vienna. At the same time, students in any major can pursue their own field experience from archeology to zoology.
Students can earn credit toward a minor or major in Spanish.
