A Splendid Look at Vienna as the Center of Ideas and Culture around 1900
I took two excellent course (from a choice of 6) about Vienna ca 1900. Vienna at that time was perhaps the most important city in the world in terms of ideas and culture, from psychology, sociology, medicine, economics, law, philosophy, political science as well as music, art, sculpture and design. Truly remarkable. Both course were filled with relevant information provided by fluent, native-level English speakers who were well-informed and deeply interested in their subjects. Additionally, there were several very interesting site visits to relevant museums (of which Vienna has many?). The students were very diverse in terms of native country, age and interests. The web site for the university was a bit difficult to navigate at first, but was then very helpful in provide course curricula, readings, test preparation and supplements to the lectures. With Universitaet Wien now listed as one of the top 100 universities in the world, the cost for the two courses was quite minimal (although travel and lodging has to be added). I've already recommended this program to others and will continue to do so.
