We strongly recommend that all students majoring in a foreign language participate in one of Coe's exchange programs. Coe has recently started an exchange with the Universitaet Landau, German students come to study at Coe each year while Coe students study for a semester or a year in this small city in southwestern Germany. In addition, Coe has a direct exchange program with the University of Valenciennes, located two hours from Paris, France. Exchanges also exist with schools in Japan and South Korea. In past years, Coe foreign language professors have offered Winter Term courses in Seville and Paris. Coe students have recently studied for a semester in France (Paris, Besancon, Strasbourg, Caen, and Montpellier); in Madrid, Spain; in Nagoya, Japan; in Vienna, Austria; and in other locales from India to Hong Kong.
Because Coe values highly these off-campus opportunities for its foreign language majors, Coe students receiving financial aid are allowed to request that a sizable portion of that aid be applied to the expenses of the off-campus experience.
Study Abroad Options: Exchange Programs are available in Germany, France and Spain, and students have access to many other programs for studying abroad in those and other countries, either for a semester or a year.
