Who May Apply:

The Deutsche Sommerschule von New Mexico welcomes students of all ages, backgrounds, and interests dedicated to expanding their knowledge of the German language and culture. Generally, students must have completed three semesters of college-level German or the equivalent. During the entire 4-1/2 week stay, all participants pledge to speak only German both inside and outside the classroom. Due to this total immersion approach, students often gain near-native fluency or advance an entire level during the program.

• Students who want to earn academic credits towards the Bachelor of Arts or a graduate degree. 
• Students or other individuals who want to prepare for an extensive stay in a German-speaking country.
• Experienced, beginning, and prospective high school teachers who want to earn advanced credit towards a graduate degree and enhance their professional skills.
• Anybody interested in enhancing or refreshing their knowledge of the German language, the history and culture of German-speaking countries.
