Language and Literature Option
The Faculty of Arts and Sciences offers a program of junior-year studies at the University of Constance in Germany. Under the guidance of a resident director, students attend preliminary four-week intensive language sessions and then, in the course of the academic year, participate fully in the life of the university. Admission is open to majors in all disciplines. A working knowledge of the language (01:470:232 or equivalent) is necessary, since courses are conducted entirely in German. Interested students should apply early in the second term of their sophomore year by contacting the department or the Rutgers Study Abroad Program office in Milledoler Hall, College Avenue campus.
German Studies Option
All majors are strongly encouraged to spend at least one term abroad at a German university, ideally as a participant in the Rutgers program in Constance. Up to 18 credits may be credited toward the major, but no more than 9 credits per term abroad. Actual transfer decisions will be made by the German studies adviser, and students studying in Germany are advised to remain in close contact. The German studies senior honors thesis option must be taken in New Brunswick.
