German Immersion Program
The 7-week session is designed for pure beginners to intermediate and advanced.
Curriculum
Classes normally meet four hours per day, five days per week. Homework and other assignments usually require four to six additional hours a day, and students are encouraged to choose from a wide array of cocurricular activities.
Each level of the program involves four hours of classroom instruction per day and carries a total of three units of credit (the equivalent of nine semester hours) for the entire program.
