German Intersession Excursions from W&J College
|
Since 1997, seventy-eight W&J students have taken a course in Germany during the Intersession term.
Students will gain a deep understanding of the culture and will get an opportunity to practice what they learn in class. Students will use German daily and will return home with a memorable educational experience. Please contact Dr. Shaughnessy if you may be interested in a German Intersession Course during your four years at W&J.

examining the nature of
culture in Austria, or traveling across the country with backpacks, students
will not only experience, but will also live the culture of
German-speaking countries. Frequently asked questions about Intersession in
Germany:
How much does it cost!?
The cost of the 24-day trip ranges from approximately $2600 to 2800, depending on exchange rates. This covers EVERYTHING: airfare, hotels, local transportation, admission to all museums, and a daily meal allowance. In theory, one could leave the USA with no extra money at all and still live comfortably.
What if I don't speak German (well) ?
Kein Problem! Knowledge of German is not always a prerequisite for this course.
Does
the course count towards general education?
It can. German intersession courses have satisfied humanities, diversity, and even a PE requirement.
Does it count toward my concentration in German?
Natürlich! The course counts toward an academic major or minor in German. Students with a background in German are expected to do a large portion of the course work in German.
What is my grade based on?
Grades are based on participation in a variety of cultural exercises and coursework, depending on the nature of the course.
Is the course open to Freshmen?
Sure. The maximum enrollment is 10-15, and any of those spots are available to freshmen.
What am I waiting for?
I don't know! Let's talk about where we are going this Intersession!
