Berlin
May 25 - July 6, 2019 (Six weeks)
From its role as the cultural and political capital during Germany’s heyday as a European power to its position as an island of innovation, intrigue, and opportunity marking the division between East and West, today’s Berlin is a magnet for cultural enthusiasts, history buffs, artists, entrepreneurs and students from around the globe.
Berlin is a city in a continuous state of becoming, with its interplay of the finished and unfinished, old and new. It is a city of politics, culture, history and rich diversity, with a myriad of things to see and do. Berlin boasts a vast and efficient public transportation system, allowing visitors to combine their interests in urban life with their desires to bask in the sun in one of the city’s many parks or by the shores of one of its lakes or waterways.
The Berlin summer program offers intensive German language instruction at all levels. Instructors will incorporate field trips throughout Berlin and nearby cities to enhance students’ cultural knowledge and proficiency.
