  Course Selection 2009
Students must take at least three semester hours of academic work, and many enroll for six hours of credit. All courses are three-hour courses.

Half the courses are taught in the morning and half in the afternoon. Morning courses meet in class from 9:00-11:30 a.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays. Morning courses have required, whole-day field trips on Tuesdays. Afternoon courses meet from 1:00-3:30 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays, with Thursdays reserved for required field trips. Students taking two courses must select one morning course and one afternoon course.

All courses are designated as lower division (LD) or upper division (UD) courses. LD courses are normally 1000 or 2000 level courses; UD courses are usually 3000 or 4000 level courses. (Upper division courses may be taken for graduate credit through special arrangement with the faculty members teaching the courses.)

The exact numbers assigned to courses differ from institution to institution. Check at the college or university where you plan to register, to find out what course numbers will be assigned to the courses you want to take. To learn more about the courses offered in Germany, you can directly contact the faculty members teaching them (see course descriptions for their e-mail addresses) or the Program Director Ms. Barbara Smith (bwsmith@ngcsu.edu)

All courses are dependent upon sufficient enrollment; courses with inadequate enrollment will be canceled. Students will be kept informed of courses at risk of cancellation. Click on the courses below for more detailed information.

Registration

In most cases, institutions in the University System of Georgia identify courses and course numbers of their own that for the courses being offered by faculty members from other institutions. This enables most students to register for courses at their home institutions. Students from institutions that do not permit registration for certain courses should contact the program office at Valdosta State University for assistance. For students at institutions actively involved in the European Council, the first step in registration is meeting with their campus representative. Students may earn three or six semester hours of credit in standard courses offering three hours of credit each. Students may take one or two of these courses. Students who need to maintain full-time status for financial aid eligibility may enroll prior to departure for Bonn in May or early summer sessions at their home campuses. Some professors may also offer directed study options during the five-week program in Germany.
Note that the program package cost does NOT include tuition fees. Tuition is paid directly to the college or university where you are registering.
