A U S T R A L I A

BerlinVoted to become the officia l capita l of

reunified Germany in 1991, Berlin is a

work-in-progress, a play of the finished

and unfinished, old and new. The decision

to transfer the capita l back to Berlin has

drawn both business and enterta inment to

the city, so that now more than ever, there

are a myriad of things to do and see: the-

ater, the arts, music, cafes, shopping, sun-

bathing, cycling, and swimming. In addi-

tion to fantastic museums and theaters,

Berlin a lso has more parks and lakes than

any other city in Germany. And with its

vast and efficient public transportation

system, the city a llows visitors to combine

their interests in urban life with their

desires to bask in the sun in one of

Berlin’s many parks or by the shores of

the Wannsee. From its role as the cultura l

and politica l capita l during Germany’s hey-

day as a European power to its position as

an island of innovation, intrigue, and

opportunity marking the division between

East and West, the Berlin of the new

Federa l Republic is recovering the reputa-

tion it once enjoyed as the place to be in

Germany.

The Language InstituteThe Neue Schule is located in the center

of Berlin within easy wa lking distance of

numerous cafes, shops, and restaurants.

Program participants will be in classes

with internationa l students from a wide

variety of countries.

ProgramThe Berlin summer program provides a

combination of activities for the partici-

pants, joining intensive language instruc-

tion with informationa l sessions designed

to enhance students’ cultura l knowledge

and proficiency. In addition to courses

taught by on-site teaching professiona ls,

the program includes a bus and boat tour

of the city, cultura l excursions to sites in

and around Berlin, and weekend trips to

selected cities in eastern Germany.

CoursesPrior to the beginning of instruction, pro-

gram participants take a placement test to

determine their level of proficiency. Class

size is sma ll (7-12 students) to maximize

the intensive learning experience. UR pro-

gram participants receive an additiona l two

hours of individua lized instruction on pro-

nunciation and phonetics per week. An

introductory course in English and German

focusing on Germany’s cultura l and politi-

ca l history and the role of Berlin in the New

Europe provides the students with a cultur-

a l and historica l context for their stay in the

capita l city. Language instruction is entirely

in German. All courses are taught by native

speakers.

tions that a ll of Centra l Europe is experi-

encing.

ProgramStudents will participate in lectures, dis-

cussions, cultura l events, wa lking tours,

Note: Students not enrolled in French

221 are only in class from 8:30 a .m. to

course with the genera l population of stu-

dents at the IEF. This course is based on

the results of a placement exam. Those

taking 300 or 400-level courses will be

Mankato-VCU students. Instruction for a ll

courses at the IEF is provided by a faculty

member from the Institut, a ll of whom

The town of Perugia (493 meters above

sea level) dominates the Tiber Va lley on a

range of hills in the heart of Umbria, of

which it is the administrative center. It is

100 miles north of Rome and 80 miles

south of Florence. An ancient Umbrian

and later Etruscan center, Perugia became

Roman in 295 B.C. Close to Perugia are

some of the most well-known towns in

Ita ly, including Assisi, Gubbio, Orvieto, and

Urbino. With its narrow, winding streets

flanked by terracotta-roofed stone houses

and pa lazzi, its large squares dominated

by churches and other public buildings,

Perugia, too, has reta ined its medieva l

profile. However, due to the presence here

of the Università di Perugia and the

Università per Stranieri (for internationa l

students), it a lso provides a very rich and

lively cultura l experience, including muse-

um exhibits, concert series, festiva ls, etc.

The University of Richmond Summer Study

Abroad Program in Perugia is designed to

provide its participants with an enjoyable

and intellectua lly stimulating experience

that combines coursework and travel for

the purpose of investigating Ita lian lan-

guage and culture.

What’s Included• 6 credit hours

• Housing

• Airport transfers in Ita ly (from Rome to

tute of Perugia and the Università per

Stranieri of Perugia . It is a five-week pro-

gram offering students a combination of

language immersion, cultura l exposure and

travel experience that should enhance aca-

demic and persona l growth.

Observe, participate and study in the rich

arts environment of London with a particu-

lar emphasis on museum studies and the-

atre production. What makes London the

internationa l arts capita l that it is? What is

it about the culture, the environment, and

the people that make a ll the arts disci-

plines grow in many divergent directions

and yet continue to be so vita l to the cul-

ture of a country? Why are the arts so

important to the people of London and the

entire United Kingdom?

The ProgramThis interdisciplinary program will examine

which elements of English culture have

given rise to the rich English tradition of

the arts. By concentrating primarily on the

areas of museum studies and theatre pro-

duction, students will immerse themselves

in the many arts opportunities ava ilable in

London and will attempt to determine how

the culture of the city and the country

have not only encouraged the various arts

disciplines to flourish, but also have

demanded a wide range of visions and

styles to develop within each of these arts

disciplines. Students will analyze how the

visual and performing arts influence each

other and determine how successes in one

discipline breed successes in many.

(Program requires a minimum of

12 students.)

Students will earn six hours of academic

credit by registering for Theatre 312 and

Art History 322 through the University of

Richmond’s School of Continuing Studies.

Graduate students can earn graduate cred-

it by registering for Theatre 312G and Art

History 322G.

London, the capita l of Great Brita in, is one
