Study Abroad Opportunities

Duke offers two of the best study-abroad programs available: the summer program and the fall and/or spring semester program in what is today one of the most exciting and cosmopolitan cities in Europe -- Berlin. The Duke-in-Berlin Fall Semester program takes place at the Humboldt University from the beginning of September to the middle of December. Students are eligible after one year or more of college-level German or the equivalent. The Spring Semester program takes place at the Free University from the end of January through mid July. Students who have had the equivalent of two years or more of college-level German are eligible for this program. For each program, costs are equivalent to those of a semester at Duke. Financial aid and scholarships are also available.

The Berlin programs have been very popular, and have drawn rave reviews from students who have attended. Students acquire language skills, deepen their understanding of German history and culture, and broaden their grasp of social sciences and art history in a German and European context. During the academic year programs they live with carefully selected German families, have many excursions and opportunities for travel, and above all gain a different perspective on the world and on world events which is invaluable for their future lives and careers.
