* This program will run in 2020 *

Würzburg is a small university town in Bavaria. The city was founded by Christianized Franks and has become the principal city in the Franconia region. It is a railroad junction, an industrial center, and the commercial hub of an agricultural region noted for its vineyards. Students will enjoy the outstanding examples of baroque architecture, paintings and sculpture abundant throughout the medieval city center.

This program combines daily intensive classroom instruction with organized cultural activities and excursions. Students will enroll in a 6-credit advanced German course that can be applied toward a major or minor in German. The course is taught by experienced German faculty from LVC.

There is a mandatory set of pre-departure orientations at Lebanon Valley College for all students planning to participate in the program.
