Program Schedule
Excursions
The program will make use of site specific resources, such as the Berlin Jewish Museum, and Pergamon Museum of Architecture, the Stasi Museum, the new museum of the former GDR (East Germany), etc. Day trips may include Dresden (city tour plus the renowned Zwinger art museums), Leipzig (the new BMW auto plant plus historical museum), the Bundestag (Federal Parliament Building), Potsdam (to see the castles and gardens), the Sachsenhausen concentration camp, and other destinations to be determined by the program leader.
Given its central location in Europe and status as a travel hub, Berlin is a great base for further travel throughout Europe. Students typically take longer trips before or after the program, and shorter ones on some weekends during the session.
Travel Arrangements
Students must schedule their own travel arrangements to Berlin. Students arrive in Berlin no later than 3:00 p.m. on Friday, May 21, 2010. For students leaving from the US, this means departing on Thursday, May 20. The move out day is Saturday, July 3. Students need to make their own housing arrangements if they will be arriving before the program start date or leaving later than the program end date.
