PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Germany: Language & Culture at University of Tübingen program is associated with the State of Baden-Württemberg, which is in southwest Germany and is home to world-renowned universities. The Germany: Language & Culture at University of Tübingen program is coordinated by a CSU on-site staff member and the Office of International Relations at the University of Tübingen. Students from every major are encouraged to participate, as a wide variety of educational opportunities are offered.
The program begins with a six week Preparatory Language Program (PLP) in Horb, a small town near Tübingen. PLP courses offer instruction in German grammar, reading, writing and conversation and often include cultural excursions. After completion of the PLP, students return to Tübingen, and during the fall semester (October- February) take courses in German language and culture specifically designed for the CSU program. During the spring semester, students have the option of continuing at the University of Tübingen, or attending one of the other universities/institutions in the Baden- Württemberg state. The universities offer a wide variety of academic programs, similar to the number of campuses and programs within the CSU system.
