Study Abroad Program

Foreign Language Majors with an acceptable level of proficiency in a chosen foreign language may spend their junior year abroad, where they become immersed in the language and culture of the respective countries, both in and out of school.

The junior year of study in a foreign country is one of the most valuable experiences a foreign language student will have, both personally and professionally.

German majors usually study at the University of Marburg in Germany in the Millersville in Marburg program administered by Millersville University.
