I. The International Summer Study Abroad Program at the Catholic University of Eichstätt/Ingolstadt, Germany The Department sponsors a four-week language/literature summer program at the Katholische Universität Eichstätt. (Mid July/August). Scholarships are available thorough the Office for International Programs. The students will earn six hours of German credit. The students take courses in German language and culture, literature, or political science. At the beginning, there is a placement test to determine the students’ proficiency. At the end of the four-week program, there is a written exam. During the four-week period the students make significant progress in their language proficiency in German. They communicate with their fellow students from around the world in German and have the chance to study a foreign culture closely. One of the best features of the program is the fact that it is truly international.
