Tufts in Tübingen
Introduction
Tübingen is located in southwest Germany in the State
of Baden-Württemberg (Swabia) not far from the city of
Stuttgart, and has about 83,000 inhabitants, including a
student population of 23,000. The city is over 900 years
old and is centrally located. It is only about two hours
from Stuttgart to Munich; the French border (Strasbourg)
is also very close, as are the Black Forest and Zurich.
The Tufts-in-Tübingen program, which enrolls twenty
students, is completely integrated into the German
university system. Program participants spend the
academic year at the Eberhard Karls University, which
was founded in 1477. Tufts-in-Tübingen students have
enrolled in courses in the following departments: art
history, biology, chemistry, economics, English, French,
geology, German, history, music, philosophy, political
science, and psychology.
The Tufts-in-Tübingen program is designed as a one-year
program of academic study. Students are strongly urged
to spend the full academic year. However, it is also
possible to apply for one semester, namely the summer
(second) semester.
