Who may enroll in the Summer Program on the Holocaust?

While our program may appeal most to undergraduate students pursuing degrees in European Studies, Jewish Studies, History, English, German, Sociology, Religious Studies, Women’s Studies, or Ethnic and Identity Studies, we encourage applications from undergraduate students regardless of major, who possess an interest in the Holocaust. Our Summer Program also appeals to those students who need to fulfill a Humanities or General Education requirement, and who wish to meet this requirement with summer studies in Berlin. There is no prerequisite, and students enrolling in either Summer Session I or Summer Session II do not need to have taken courses on the Holocaust nor German language courses in order to attend the program in Berlin. Students should have at least sophomore standing and be enrolled at any accredited college or university in the United States or in Great Britain.
