The Academic Program

Spring in Berlin holds 30 to 40 students, allowing for close interaction with professors both in and out of the classroom. Classes are kept small, and students are encouraged to undertake independent research closely followed by a professor during their semester in Berlin.

The curriculum focuses on German language and sociology classes, and a range of topics pertinent to the understanding of the forces that have shaped contemporary Germany and the larger European Union community. Enrollment is not limited to sociology or German majors, however, students studying a wide range of disciplines are invited to attend our spring in Berlin program.
