While we decided to teach most courses in English to allow students without a German language background to participate, we also emphasize the cultural immersion aspect by making language study in Salzburg a requirement.
Initially our academic program concentrated on classical European studies - history, politics, economics, music and art. Gradually, as students were increasingly looking at study abroad as an investment in their professional futures, we developed programs in communication and business studies, with a new range of field trips and internship opportunities.
At the same time, we remain committed to the arts - music performance, studio art, photography - to draw on the special opportunities that the city of Salzburg has to offer.
Living in Salzburg is a rare opportunity to experience the beauty of a historical city and the stunning surrounding landscape of lakes and Alpine peaks.
There is no substitute to the actual experience, but we hope that this website will give you a sense of what it will be like to complete a degree, a semester, an academic year, or summer session at Salzburg College - in a friendly Austrian community, with a dedicated and experienced faculty, caring host families, and a supportive staff.
Welcome to Salzburg College!

I did not really know what to expect coming into this program, but I learned a great deal here. All the faculty I worked with are amazing. The quality of instruction was very good and I really enjoyed all the supplementary cultural information.
