BGSU'S Undergraduate Program at the University of Salzburg

 

A Full Year's Credit

You don't have to lose any time toward graduation! The program guarantees a full year's academic credit. This means at least 30 semester hours or 45 quarter hours. You should meet with an advisor on your home campus soon to plan your program carefully so that you can stay on track, meeting degree requirements, and avoiding duplication of course work.
You may also do an independent study project of up to three semester hours under
a professor at your home institution.

Program Courses

Most of our courses are taught specifically for undergraduates in the BGSU program by instructors who are sensitive to the challenges students face when learning a variety of subjects in German for the first time. Graduate assistants who are studying for a master's degree in the BGSU AYA program provide additional help in small-group tutorials.

In addition to German language and literature classes, we offer courses in a variety of subjects, such as art history, education (on demand), geography, history, music, political science. Most of your instruction in the German language will be in courses in the University of Salzburg 's Deutsch als Fremdsprache program, where you will learn German with other international students. With the advice and approval of the director, you may enroll in regular University of Salzburg courses in addition to the program courses.
