At FU-BEST, students take a mandatory German language course as well as English-taught subject classes.  To meet Fordham's credit requirements, students taking Experiential German must take 4 subject classes (5 classes total).  Students taking Intensive German only need to take 3 subject classes (4 classes total) given the increased workload of the Intensive German class.

Testimonial:
My study abroad experience has encouraged me to more closely consider the perspectives of non-Americans in my work and personal opinions. It has taught me to be more aware of the way in which our actions are perceived in other places and the importance of diverse opinions. I also appreciated working within a foreign university environment, which has further shifted my perspective on my own university experience at Fordham and in America more generally in comparison.
