 Study Abroad
Study abroad is an important supplement to the study
of a foreign language. Spending time in a German-speaking country is an
invaluable capstone to a college program in German, which brings a level
of fluency and a degree of understanding of German culture that can hardly
be attained through classroom study alone.
Rutgers programs
One of the easiest ways for Rutgers students to study in Germany is to
participate in the Rutgers Study Abroad Program. The programs are less
expensive than many others, and credits transfer seamlessly to Rutgers
Camden. The program offers full-year and summer programs at the University
of Constance (Konstanz) in southern Germany. Follow these links for
more information about
Programs at other institutions
Students may also receive credit for participating in a wide variety of
other study abroad programs. For a website that provides links to a large
number of summer, semester, and year-abroad programs in Germany, Austria,
and other countries, go to Study
Abroad Links. (Credits transfer from most programs, but check with
us to make sure before you enroll. The mention of a program on this page
or on a linked web site does not guarantee that it will provide transferable
credit.)
Career-oriented programs and
internships
Some students may be interested in more career-oriented study and
internship abroad programs. For information on some of these, see the web
sites of CDS International and the
Mannheim Program.
Post-graduate study abroad
Study abroad does not have to take place before graduation. Fulbright and
Rotary scholarships, among others, provide an excellent way of continuing
your studies at a university in a German-speaking country, whether or not
you are planning to attend graduate school. Unlike most undergraduate study
abroad programs, these programs are competitive scholarship programs: you
may be turned down, but if you are successful, your year abroad will
be paid for. The contact person for both Fulbright and Rotary at Rutgers
Camden is Tom Venables. Contact him at tvenable@camden.rutgers.edu
for more information.
