Germany Field School (MLAN 2700)

In 2015, the Modern Languages field school travelled to the beautiful town of  Treuchtlingen, Bavaria. Language study was combined with cultural activities and daily interaction in the community to provide the opportunity of a lifetime!

TRU partnered with the University of Applied Management (UAM), to jointly offer this field school in Modern Languages, at their Adventure Campus in Treuchtlingen, Germany, about an hour outside of Munich. This exciting collaboration was designed to provide students with an international experience combining German language and cultural learning within a dynamic, experience-based framework.

Not only did students earn six credits toward their TRU degrees; they also earned 12 ECTS credits toward European university credit, and reaped the benefits of professors from both universities sharing their knowledge and expertise.

UAM is a fully-accredited university that offers students an interesting study selection with high practical relevance. It offers the opportunity to develop a personal and holistic competence profile. All courses are nationally recognized and accredited so the degrees also offer international connectivity.

The Adventure Campus is a beautiful residential campus set in a park-like environment, with comfortable living quarters, a dining area that opens onto a lovely patio where students congregate and socialize, and activities such as biking, archery, a climbing apparatus, and hiking.
