Off-campus Study Options

The “Year of Study in Munich” is Reed College's oldest and most popular program for majors or other Reed students interested in the German language, literature and culture. Reed also has programs for German majors (or students with at least 2 years of German language proficiency) at the Freie Universität Berlin and at the Universität Tübingen, which has particular strength in areas of philosophy, religion and the social sciences. Students may also want to participate in the summer program in Freiburg. As part of the application process, students’ language proficiency will be assessed individually so that they can attend the program that best fits their aspirations and ability.
