Program Overview
Greater Munich provides the backdrop for this KIIS summer program. Individual students are housed with German families in Munich suburbs, allowing them opportunities to hone their language skills and learn about German family life, an experience that participants consistently call remarkable. Several long weekends offer students opportunities for independent travel to explore the wider German-speaking world. Life and learning within Munich is complimented by various excursions around Bavaria, as well as trips to historical and cultural sites within the Munich cityscape.
Note: Studying abroad likely is more physically strenuous than you are used to at home. KIIS study abroad programs typically involve approx. 5-10 miles of walking (approx. 10,000-20,000 steps) or the like in a day, including the possibility of walking, hiking, and climbing stairs in heat and humidity, over elevations at higher altitudes, and over rocky terrain. See Health & Wellness for more information.
All KIIS course credit is awarded by Western Kentucky University. Prior to your KIIS program, please speak with your home campus academic advisor and/or study abroad office to determine course equivalencies. Grades will be transferred to your home institution in mid-August after the completion of the program. Course offerings are subject to change according to enrollment. For more information, visit Transcripts & Grades.
What's Included
Program Cost: $4,100 + airfare
To help you budget, keep in mind that you are responsible for the cost of obtaining a passport ($165), personal expenses (approx. $400-$750 depending on your spending habits/optional independent travel preferences), any class readings/materials, and any fees from your college/university.
Although KIIS tries to foresee all possible expenses in formulating program fees, please note that dramatic fluctuations in foreign currency valuations and/or airline surcharges may affect the total cost of the program.
Group Flight
