Semester and Year Abroad in Germany
The School of Arts and Sciences offers a number of programs in Germany for students majoring in any discipline, and including those who are just beginning to learn German as well as those with advanced skills. All German majors (whether in German Studies or in German Language and Literature) are strongly encouraged to spend at least one term abroad at a German university, ideally as participants in one of the Rutgers study-abroad programs in Berlin. Students who apply through Rutgers Study Abroad for the following Fall and/or Spring semester of study in the FU-BEST program of the Free University Berlin are automatically considered for a number of scholarships typically amounting to some $5,000.00.
