| STUDYING ABROAD
Study
Abroad is a valuable complement to any field of
study. The Department of German works carefully with
individual
students to integrate a period of study in Germany,
Austria, or Switzerland into their overall academic
plans. Students
have the opportunity to not only improve their language
skills but also are able to live and interact with
native German speakers and foreigners. Students typically
return
from their time abroad with a much firmer grasp of
both written and spoken German. The varied contacts
with other
students, travellers and local residents are invaluable
for the development of a balanced, international
perspective. Students who have special interests and
needs are welcome
to investigate other programs and discuss them with John
Paluch, the Study Abroad Advisor.
