October 30, 2012
5pm - 6pm
The College of William & Mary's 2013 Potsdam summer program offers participants the opportunity to immerse themselves in German language and culture. It provides courses for beginner, intermediate and advanced German speakers, as well as course options taught by University of Potsdam faculty and W&M faculty Dr. Maria Morrison, Visiting Assistant Professor of German Studies, and an option for independent study/research. Students may earn up to 10 credits on the Potsdam summer program. Grades appear on students' W&M transcripts and are included in GPA calculations.
Potsdam, the capital city of the German state of Brandenburg, is located on the River Havel, southwest of Berlin. Known for being the residence of Prussian kings and German kaisers until 1918, the city also has the largest World Heritage Site in Germany: the palace of Sanssouci. The Potsdam Conference, the post-World War II conference held between the Allies, was held at the Cecilienhof palace, another area attraction. The W&M Potsdam summer program begins with a three day visit to cultural sites in Central Germany.
During their time in Potsdam students live with host families. Breakfast will be provided.
