Requirements and Suggestions for a Semester in Salzburg

The required number of semester credit hours is 12. Because of the demands of foreign study, a higher load than 18 hours is not recommended. For a course load above 18 credit hours the approval from Salzburg College and the home university is necessary. In addition, students are welcome to attend other classes in which you are interested on a regular basis without being registered or graded. Most courses are open for all students at all times. For prerequisites, please see individual course descriptions.

To support the student's Austrian experience, two courses are required of all students:

- Understanding Austria - A Cross-Cultural Exploration
- One German language course

Class Structure

In order to enhance concentrated learning, Salzburg College will offer its courses with block scheduling as of the fall semester 2010. The semester schedule will be split into two 6 week modules. Courses will be compressed and students will take 2 or 3 courses in each module.
