Study Abroad Programs

German Square

Spring and May Term, 2007

The Simpson German Semester in Schorndorf offers students an intensive living and learning experience in Germany. The program is located in Schorndorf, a city of 40,000 some 30 minutes from Stuttgart. Students live with German families and receive daily instruction in German language, culture, history and literature. Theater, opera, concerts and museums in Stuttgart provide the advantages of a large city. On weekends, students travel to cultural and historical sites. Included are also week-long study tours to Berlin and Munich. Students depart in early January and return in May.

A May Term course is also offered in Schorndorf, which gives students Global Awareness credit. The Program's next May Term offering is: "Cultural Metropolis Berlin," which will include a stay of seven days in Germany's most important city. We will discuss the importance of the city in German political and cultural history, its division during the Cold War and its renewed importance as Germany's capital and as a center of European business and culture.

What's it like in Schorndorf?
The Schorndorf Program is one of Simpson College's premier educational experiences. Recently returned Simpson students named as highlights of the program:

living with a German family
traveling all over Germany
living German culture, not just learning about it
visiting Berlin and Munich
the opportunity to visit other countries
Spring Break somewhere warm (Spain)

Requirements
Students must have passed three semesters of college German or the equivalent and a one semester hour orientation course. Students must also have a grade point average of at least 2.25 before permission to study abroad will be granted.
