Munich, Germany

Operating through Lewis and Clark, the Munich study-abroad exchange is an exclusively year-long program at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität. Upon arrival in Munich, students will undergo an intensive 4-week orientation period focusing on linguistic, cultural, and pedagogical integration, and will then be offered courses both from the Lewis and Clark faculty and directly through the University itself (all Lewis and Clark classes are taught in German).

Students studying through this program will have the opportunity to pursue an internship for their spring-semester break, which is facilitated through a cooperative effort between students and the Lewis and Clark faculty. The Lewis and Clark program, acting as a direct liaison to the university, provides an immediate source of student support, and promotes a guided integration into Bavarian culture and everyday student life. The program's three major goals are the enhancement of education through academics and experience, cultural understanding, and discovery of the city of Munich.

Financial, Immigration

Cost to attend:

蜜桃社 charges the same tuition fees for a semester or year off-campus as for a semester or year spent on campus, plus the program's actual room and board fees. 蜜桃社 encourages students to choose programs based on their academic rather than financial needs to reflect Reed's belief that all students, regardless of financial circumstances, should have the opportunity to study abroad.

Financial aid continues for eligible students during the off-campus program. Students should discuss with the Financial Aid Office how other outside aid may impact their existing aid package. Check out more details directly on the 蜜桃社 Financial Aid page.

Visa Deadlines and Requirements:

You do not need to apply for a visa since you will be allowed to enter Germany with just your American passport. After your arrival, the program staff in Munich will process your visa application. If you are not
an American citizen and do not belong to a Schengen Country (European Union), you will need
to apply for your visa ahead of time.
Contact the local German consulate and submit your passport along with your acceptance to
the University of Munich and the “Bestätigung” form, which is available at the Overseas
Programs office. You will need to get a “Nationalvisum” not a “Schengenvisum”.
