Description

AEA has been sending students to study at the prestigious Tübingen University since 1958. The Antioch in Germany program encourages complete cultural immersion while supporting the needs of American students abroad. This program suits students looking for independence and the opportunity to tailor aspects of their overseas studies to their own particular skills and interests. While on this program, students will learn what it is to live, work, and study as German students do.

Students have four to eight weeks of language training at the Goethe Institut, followed by a four-week intensive orientation through the university's German Compact Program. Students then spend one or two semesters enrolled in regular courses while living in individualized housing with German students. On-site Residential Advisors facilitate student independent research, internships, and/or part-time work.

Established in 1477, the Eberhard-Karls-Universität (Tübingen University) is one of the oldest and most distinguished institutions of higher education in Germany. Students choose from hundreds of German-taught courses with special opportunities for students of the theoretical and applied sciences. Furthermore, over one-forth of Tübingen's 85,000 residents are university students, making it a real college city, full of events celebrating local, regional, and global culture.
