Students first spend two weeks in Berlin, taking morning classes at the world-renowned Goethe Institute and exploring the German capital in the afternoon and evening. Weekend excursions include a trip to Dresden and Wittenberg. Lodging in Berlin is in private homes organized by the Goethe Institute. After Berlin, students travel by high-speed train to Heidelberg, which will be the basis for an exploration of the rich cultural heritage of the Upper-Rhone and Neckar Valley region. Course goals include growth in intercultural sensitivity, gains in mastery of German, and increased understanding of various religious, political, and cultural phenomena of Germany. Students will be assessed on their participation in the Goethe Institute courses, director-led excursions, and the submission of at least two analytic journal entries focusing on cultural issues.

Here, you will thrive as you deepen your understanding of the French language and culture. | TBD |
