NYU Berlin Summer Course

Thanks to everyone who came to the coffee hour yesterday to talk about study away opportunities!  It was a great discussion and we look forward to seeing you all again in two weeks!

Study Away Highlight: NYU Berlin Summer

 

"At NYU Berlin students experience a cosmopolitan city that holds a complex and crucial place in modern European history. Youthful, artistic, and hip, Berlin has traveled a path that led from the defining cultural avant-garde of the Weimar Republic to the devastation of World War II, from a divided city symbolizing the Cold War to today’s reunified and renewed capital. 

The program at NYU Berlin is designed for students in the social sciences and humanities who want to earn credit in their majors—including sociology, history, politics, studio art, environmental studies and European studies—while having a transformative experience abroad. Courses are taught in English, and German language courses are offered at all levels. Day trips and guided excursions in and around Berlin are included in the program."

Sample Course:

ART AND IDEAS: THE BERLIN BIENNIAL
Spend two weeks this Summer studying in Berlin at the Berlin Biennial.
This course will provide a backstage pass to one of the most important
events of the international art world in a city which has become
ground zero for contemporary art. Throughout the class, students will
visit key exhibitions, events, and cultural institutions; meet with
participating artists and curators; and examine and discuss the
artworks and ideas embedded within them.

**Offered through NYU Steinhardt
