For summer 2015, this post features two UNDERGRADUATE study abroad programs: one in Germany and the other in France.
Bremen, Germany
Two Hofstra professors will be teaching Legal 20 and Accounting 102 at the international summer program of Hochschule Bremen Institute of Applied Sciences, a partner school in Bremen, Germany. This program brings together over 100 students from countries around the world to Bremen, a small and historic city in northern Germany for instruction in English. Students arrive in Germany July 4th or 5th. Classes start July 6th and end July 29th, and students depart on July 30th
Last year, students came from such countries as Russia, India, and Mexico as well as the United States. Bremen is a lovely small city, founded by Charlemagne in 787. It is an hour from Hamburg, and is a great jumping off point for travel by train or budget airlines to other parts of Europe.
