Through Bard College, undergraduate students have an exceptional chance to attend CEU, a private university in Vienna, with an extraordinarily international student body, to take graduate-level courses.
During their stay, students study through departments matching their academic interest, however, they are allowed to take courses from other departments as well. Motivated participants have the opportunity to take part in various extracurricular activities.
Students can apply for the Fall semester (September - December), Winter semester (January - April), or a full academic year. Study Abroad students at CEU are allowed to take between 12-16 credits per semester. The program also comprises field trips, cultural programs and orientation about life at CEU and in Vienna.
Students are encouraged to take challenging and stimulating courses, whose credit can be transferred easily to any U.S. institution. This program is for motivated undergraduates who want to spend time at a truly international university, exchanging ideas with colleagues from more than 100 different countries.
