SMU proudly hosts its own Study Abroad in Germany Program. SMU-in-Weimar is a well-loved 5 week summer program that runs during the first summer session of summer school, (May 27- June 28). The program is open to SMU and non-SMU students alike. Students take up residence in the small, pastoral town of Weimar located in the German state of Thuringia. Classes are held on the campus of Germany’s famous art and architectural school – the Bauhaus Universität and students are housed in single rooms in the Bauhaus University dorms. Group excursions to Berlin (3 nights) and Munich (2 nights) along with several day trips are included in tuition fees. Students are free travel on weekends when no SMU sponsored travel has been scheduled. Up to 7 credits can be earned by taking 2 courses. Courses offered include: German (all levels), CF: German Culture in Weimar and MUCI: Fundamentals of Instrumental Conducting. There is no language prerequisite. SMU presidential scholars and dependents of SMU faculty and staff on tuition remission have nearly all fees waived. Application Deadline and Acceptance Applications should be submitted no later than
March 1, 2013. It is possible this program may be full before the March 1 deadline. Applications may be submitted after the March 1 deadline if places are available in the program.
