Program Overview

Program Description:

The program offers courses for intermediate or advanced students in Advanced German Language, Culture and Literature taught by faculty members who have experience working in "German as a Foreign Language" programs. Scheduled group activities and excursions will be part of the academic program.

The Regensburg, Germany Program will last nearly 5 months. The University of Regensberg will be the host to the courses in the semester. The home stay element of the program provides a wonderful opportunity to surround oneself with the German language and culture. We can accept students with a minimum of 9 hours of college-level German or the equivalent and sophomore standing by the start of the program. In other words, students who complete the first semester of an intermediate German program in the fall (ahead of the Regensburg spring semester) are eligible to apply.

Students will have the opportunity to attend informally some regular courses at the University of Regensburg. Credit will be awarded by Western Kentucky University and will automatically be transferred to the student's home institution.

Setting Description:

Situated on the Danube River in central Bavaria, about 1 1/2 hours northeast of Munich, Regensburg offers an ideal setting for learning German language and experiencing the culture. Classes will be held at the University of Regensburg, located on the outskirts of the city.
