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.

Who May Attend:

Students and other individuals interested in enhancing their speaking, writing, and comprehension skills in German.

• Students who want to earn academic credits towards the Bachelor of Arts or Master of Arts in German Studies. On-line application information and materials for the M.A. can be found at the OGS web site (Office of Graduate Studies).
• Students or other individuals who want to prepare for an extensive stay in a German-speaking country.
