Language and Literature Option
The School of Arts and Sciences offers the opportunity to study for a spring semester or a full academic year 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 university life. 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 semester of their sophomore year by contacting the department or the Rutgers Study Abroad office at 102 College Avenue.
German Studies Option
All majors are strongly encouraged to spend at least one semester abroad at a German university, preferably through the Rutgers program. Up to 18 credits may be credited toward the major, but no more than 9 credits per semester 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.
