When you think of Bavaria, do you think of the giant beer steins and sausages of Oktoberfest? A well-tuned society with Germany’s highest standard of living? Or do you think of the horrific rise of the Nazi party? Or the current ban on teachers wearing headscarves to work?
Our one-month program will attempt to trace the various efforts towards defining national identity in modern Bavaria, traveling to medieval style castles, Nazi bunkers, the site of the Nuremberg trials, the Olympic Park, Munich’s celebrated new Jewish Museum, and many others. We will be based in Munich, which Lonely Planet describes as “sexy, sophisticated and self-confident … a trove of cultural delights and a relaxed flair”.
This 5-credit program is open to all majors, eligible for federal financial aid, and has no minimum GPA. Ability to speak German is not required. Apply now!
