Program Reviews:
Spring 2024 Participant
Being able to understand it is possible to create community no matter where you go. I was able to go to Germany with little German and no friends to understanding the language enough to get by and created many friends from all over Europe and the world in the process!

Spring 2026 Participant
While the course contents relating to my degree were of course very interesting, important, and rewarding, I found the immersion in a whole other culture the most rewarding of all. Being able to actually have the opportunity to not just learn a language, but practice it and be fully immersed was a wonderful experience.

Spring 2026 Participant
I loved the central location of the program. I had so much access and opportunity to travel during the semester. It was an immense privilage to be able to experience so many new cultures and languauges.
