Combining a short-term stay of CCU students in the Rhineland and a short-term stay of German students at Coastal, this Summer School Program offers the students of RheinAhrCampus, Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg and Coastal Carolina University a unique chance of experiencing academic life on the other side of the Atlantic.
Sister State Agreement
The International Summer School Program is one out of many activities which help to put the transatlantic partnership between the states of Rhineland Palatinate and South Carolina into practice. One of the great advantages of this short-term exchange scheme is the reciprocity of the exchange which distinguishes this summer school program from many other summer schools offered at German and US universities. The sister state agreement also facilitates the semester exchange with Coastal Carolina University considerably.
Successful appetizer
The International Summer School Program has been offered on campus every year starting in 2002 - and its popularity with students has increased continually. One of the reasons why this short-term exchange is so successful is the fact that it may help students to determine whether a long-term study abroad period or an internship abroad might be a feasible option for them. In fact, many of the students who complete this program successfully embark on other study-related international activities at a later stage during their studies. Exchange at teaching staff level is another aspect of the cooperation activities.
