PAEDAGOGISCHE HOCHSCHULE

Freiburg, Germany

Picturesque Freiburg is located in the heart of the Black Forest. Known as German Tuscany, it is said that the sun shines more often here than in any other city in Germany. Freiburg’s Münster, whose construction began in 1200, is one of Europe’s great cathedrals, and the medieval gates to the city can still be viewed today. Freiburg is filled with music, street theatre, and festivals. Located just 30 kilometers from France and 70 kilometers from Switzerland, there is ample opportunity to travel outside of the country as well as to points of interest within Germany.

 

Students study at the Paedagogische Hochschule (PH) where they may choose from a full curriculum of courses taught in German. Participants may also take courses at the Albert Ludwigs University, one of the oldest and most famous in Germany. Students can earn a minor in German in one semester.

 

Paid excursions may include trips to historic Munich or Heidelberg, as well as cultural sites and events within Freiburg. Excursions change each semester.

Overview:

Cost

 

For students who live on campus and have a full meal plan, the cost for a semester abroad is approximately the same as the DeLand campus. Refer to the “Expenses” section of the most recent Stetson Bulletin for Comprehensive Fee information. Stetson merit aid, federal aid, state grants (such as FRAG), and other scholarships for study at Stetson are available for study abroad when the program of study is a Stetson Abroad program. Employee tuition benefits do not apply to study abroad programs. (In the event you decide to study abroad through a non-Stetson Abroad program, the financial aid you receive would more than likely not be available to use.)  It is important to contact the Office of Financial Aid to determine the best course of action for your particular situation. 

Stetson covers basic expenses abroad including: tuition, housing, food, international health insurance, and some excursions.

Expenses not covered include: travel to and from the study site (including airfare, train and bus travel), passport, visa, document mailings, and room deposits. Furthermore, meals in restaurants, personal travel, entertainment, etc. come at extra cost to the student. Participants are advised to have at least $100-200 per week abroad in personal funds available to them.
