Germany

Berlin

In conjunction with the Institute of European Studies (IES), USC offers a program of study at Humboldt University during the spring semester. A crossroads of European history in the 20th century, Berlin has been a center of cultural experimentation, a focal point of the Cold War and is now an integral component of the emerging "New Europe." Located in East Berlin, Humboldt University was founded in 1810 as the University of Berlin. It is perfectly situated for exploring both Berlins. Students receive intensive German language instruction during the first three weeks of the program, then enroll for the remainder of the semester at Humboldt University and in supplemental courses offered by IES. All courses are taught in German by native German faculty and are available in such disciplines as modern German economics, history and politics; art history, business, classics, international relations, political science, psychology, religion, and sociology. Students are housed in private German homes and apartments.

Freiburg

USC, in conjunction with the Institute of European Studies German Studies Program, provides an opportunity for undergraduates to spend the spring semester studying in Freiburg, Germany. Freiburg is a picturesque medieval city on the edge of the Black Forest. The University of Freiburg, Germany's second oldest university, was founded in 1457. As a university town, Freiburg thrives on student life and the heritage of learning, yet retains the charm of a small city. Courses are offered in most areas of the social sciences. Students participate in a field trip to Prague.

Israel

Jerusalem

In conjunction with Hebrew University, USC students spend a year or semester in Israel pursuing their studies at Hebrew University's Rothberg School for Overseas Students in Jerusalem. The program begins with intensive Hebrew language study (Ulpan) courses taught in either English or Hebrew depending on language proficiency. Courses are offered in the Hebrew language, in art, literature, history, Israeli studies, psychology and religion. Students live in campus dormitories and may participate in a variety of social and cultural activities at the university.

Tel Aviv

Tel Aviv University provides USC undergraduates an opportunity to spend a semester in Israel. The university's location in the center of the country makes all of Israel accessible to the intellectually and culturally serious student.
