Program Description
The Middlebury School in Germany offers an exceptional academic program to undergraduates at U.S. colleges and universities. Students who have completed 2-3 years of German language training are invited to participate in the program under the Middlebury Language Pledge®, a commitment to speak exclusively the target language for the duration of their time abroad.
Berlin is a large city in a state of constant transformation. For most of the second half of the twentieth century, Berlin was the fulcrum of a divided Europe. With the collapse of the Berlin Wall, the end of the Cold War, and the reunification of Germany, Berlin now plays a central role in East-West relations and the development of the European Union. Berlin also has a unique cultural profile within Germany and boasts residents from around the globe. The city offers anything a culture-seeker could hope for, including the famous Museumsinsel, where art historians can wander endlessly among ancient artifacts and modern masterpieces on this island in the Spree. Additionally, while Berlin is a large city, it features abundant parkland and a myriad of bridges crisscrossing the river; both features give the city not only a feeling of spaciousness but also remarkable beauty.
Students take a combination of the following types of courses:
1. Middlebury-organized Cultural Portfolio course
2. Direct enrollment alongside German students at Freie Universität
3. Credit-bearing internships
