Preparing you for the 21st Century 

Picture yourself studying German on our two beautiful campuses -- Saint Ben's and Saint John's -- and at our two campuses in Europe, Salzburg and Eichstätt near Munich!  The architecture, woods and lakes of Saint Ben's and Saint John's reflect the parts of Bavaria where our founders came from.

Program Features

Come to CSB/SJU and you can:

• Study abroad and do an internship in Germany or Austria.
• Become friends with teaching assistants from Germany who live at CSB and SJU!
• Join the German Club - and make life-long friends who also love to travel and learn about languages and culture.

Often students taking German at Saint Ben's and Saint John's plan their four-year schedule to include a major or minor in German as well as a major or minor in another subject like Global Learship (management), economics, music, physics, chemistry, psychology, French, education, art,  or political science. Actually, any combination is possible and desirable in our increasingly global world.

German is also a popular major or minor for pre-med, pre-law and pre-engineering students.  Give yourself an edge in the global economy and in global research by becoming immersed in a culture that lies at the heart of Europe.
