Overview

On the German programme from Lycoming College outside of class you'll have fun taking trips to a local Oktoberfest, the Bullfrog for Stammtisch, and even New York City for a German Opera and dinner with your classmates in Deutschverein, the German Club.

When you're ready, you'll be off to Germany to study at our affiliate campus, Otto-Friedrich-Universitat, one of the highest-rated universities in Germany.
