Culture is an integral part of language. A classroom setting can teach students only so much language and about culture. There is no substitution for experiencing language and culture first hand while living and studying in a foreign country.

W&J affiliated programs:

The German program offers four programs for students to study abroad at various levels. Courses are offered as a part of the standard program through W&J. Courses have to be approved by the respective departments at W&J to transfer credits. For more information, refer to the Global Education website or contact Dr. Atzler.
