Take the opportunity of taking two 8-weeks classes during the summer term that includes a 3-weeks study abroad component. The classes are General Psychology (PSYC 2003), taught as an online class, and Introduction to Philosophy (PHIL 2003), taught as a campus class. The program is open to students and members of the community and may be taken for college credit or audit. One can choose to take one or both classes, whereby students may be eligible for financial aid for the summer term if they take two courses, considering the two courses fulfill the program requirement(s). During the 3-weeks study abroad to Germany, visit cities where many famous philosophers and psychologists studied, worked, and lived. Get a feel for the people and topics you learn about in your course(s).
