ELIGIBILITY
To apply, you must be a currently-enrolled, degree-seeking undergraduate UW-Eau Claire student. You must be in good academic standing and have a cumulative resident GPA of 3.0. You may apply as a freshman; however, by the time of departure, you need to have completed two years of university-level German and have at least sophomore standing.
COURSES
With a wide range of courses taught specifically for international students and regular university courses, you can ease your way into total language immersion or take the plunge immediately.
You will take a minimum of 12 credits each semester, with the option of taking courses taught specifically for international students or regular university courses. Some Uni Graz courses are taught in English.
