 Liebe DeutschstudentInnen!
Studying abroad in Germany through ECU is easier and cheaper than you might think! You can take courses on nearly any topic and fulfill requirements for any major or minor. Germany is packed with gorgeous historical architecture and beautiful natural landscapes. It's bike and pedestrian friendly, and has an excellent public transportation system—you don't need a car at all! All you need to do is find a program that suits your needs and then fill out some paperwork. The process takes some planning, but it will be worth it, and it's financially comparable to studying here in Greenville. All you pay is your regular in-state or out-of-state ECU tuition, plane flight, and living expenses (please note: dorm rooms, food, transportation, and cultural events cost less in Germany!). Through scholarships like the ECU Thomas Rivers Fund, the German Academic Exchange Service, and the Gilman Foundation (for students who already have a Pell Grant) you can offset some or all of the costs. Our students have had great success in getting one or more of these scholarships every year. Your federal financial aid may also be used to pay for study abroad. ECU has partnerships with all of the public universities in the southwestern German state of Baden-Württemberg. Just go to www.uncep.org and scroll down to "GERMANY: UNC State-to-State Agreement with Baden-Württemberg" to find links to each university. You can check out photos and specific course offerings online at any time. I look forward to meeting you and helping you to study abroad in Germany soon!
