About the Program

Berlin will be your classroom. Imagine learning about German politics and policymaking in class and then taking a quick walk to visit the Reichstag, or discussing Germany's 20th century art and then touring one of the city's world-famous art collections. Wherever possible, our courses take advantage of the city's many historical, artistic, and cultural sites, and several courses include course-related trips.
