 Choosing a College in Germany

Germany is a country that is full of reflective times as well as opportunities for prospective adventures. Therefore, the opportunity to take college in Germany is obviously both a very fulfilling and thrilling experience. But for many others who have really been in Germany find it also life changing. One very interesting school in Germany is the Bethel College; a four-year college of liberal arts that is affiliated with the Mennonite Church of USA. It is founded in 1887 and is one of, if not the oldest Mennonite College in Northern America. The school is well known for its academic excellence and was also the only private college in Kansas to be ranked in Forbes’ listings of “America’s Best Colleges” for the year 2008 alone, and still among two of Kansas colleges that are listed in the Colleges Distinction 0f 2008-2009.

Choosing a College in GermanyAnother popular school in Germany is Pitzer College. The college deems that mastery of a subject matter makes independent and informed judgments, and thus entails students to finish a major. The students are advised to select an advisor in the area of their chosen major before the midterm of their second semester in the sophomore year, with this the discussions are started on the topic of the major field in the timely prearranged period. In line with this, students must be able to complete an Educational/Major Objectives form signed by authority in the major. A great part of both the junior and senior years is dedicated to the major program. Alternatively, students may pick existing majors at another quality school at the Claremont College given that such fields are not offered as the same majors at Pitzer.

Otherwise, if you prefer to take short college programs in Germany instead, the IES Berlin Language & Area Studies Program is a fusion of programs run by the Institute for the International Education of Students (IES). The students must take the German Language course of IES at the proper level on top of the mandatory in-depth German instruction carried out during orientation. Moreover, all students are required to take the extra four areas of study courses in German instruction as well. German is absolutely one of the toughest languages to learn, and Germany is even more such a baffling and yet truly amazing country to visit. Thus, a college in Germany is in many ways certainly worth it.
