Description

Preparing yourself for success in the 21st century means preparing yourself to thrive in the global community. "International" no longer means "abroad"; it can mean, literally, right next door.

Your participation in The University of New Orleans' Academic Year Abroad at the University of Innsbruck is an investment that will pay dividends for a lifetime. AYA is designed to help you acquire the cultural savvy so important in the international community today. At the same time, it is intended to give you new insights into yourself and a better understanding and appreciation for what it means to be American. AYA is an opportunity for you to collect intellectual frequent flyer miles you can cash in for the rest of your life!

Let Innsbruck - the "Bridge over the River Inn" - be a bridge to your future. We look forward to accompanying you on your way there.

Highlights

Innsbruck often markets itself as "the heart of the alps." This designation aptly refers not only to the charm, beauty and small-town warmth of an historic European city nestled in the towering mountains between Germany and Italy, but also to the pulse-beat of Innsbruck as a cultural, political and economic cross-roads of Europe since pre-Roman times.

AYA students are required to take courses in German language or literature each semester. Language placement tests administered in Innsbruck, along with individual interests and needs, determine each students course selection. Options include UNO courses in German language and/or literature offered through the AYA program, German as a Foreign Language course offered through the University of Innsbruck, as well as regular language and literature courses offered through the Departments of German Philology and Translation Sciences at the University of Innsbruck.
