Study Abroad
Study Abroad Opportunities
At the more advanced level, students may compete in the annual German University Exchange Scholarship program (Verband der deutsch-amerikanischer Clubs). This program provides the opportunity for individual, year-long, supervised study at a German University of the student's choice. In recent years students have studied at universities in Berlin, Munich, Koblenz, Mainz, Essen, and Tübingen.
The department has also established close ties to programs at other institutions and will assist students in exploring such options. Among these are the excellent Wayne State University Junior Year Abroad Program in Munich and Brethren Colleges Abroad Program in Marburg, in which Oberlin students have regularly particpated. The department is also pleased to recommend the Duke in Berlin Program and Boston University Dresden Program.
For intensive language and culture studies, in summer and during the year, students have two options, Das Goethe-Institut with centers throughout Germany and in Vienna with ActiLingua. Please talk with department members if you are interested in studying abroad.
