Student exchange in the fall semester 2019.
General Information
Two BA students from our department will be able to study at the English Department of CMU in the fall semester 2019 without paying the substantial tuition fees that students at CMU and other American universities are faced with.
CMU is a mid-sized American campus university with 28,000 students. It has a vibrant social and academic life including sporting events, musical and theatrical productions, and a host of student organizations.
The English Department offers a wide variety of courses, with classes in British and American Literature, World Literature, Linguistics, composition theory, creative writing, children’s literature, and literary theory. It also offers monthly readings by local, regional, and national writers.
Mt. Pleasant is a college town only two hours away from the sandy beaches of Lake Michigan. Detroit, Chicago and Toronto are also fairly close (by American standards).
If you require more information, write to Professor Niederhoff or see him in his office hours. You can also visit the website of CMU.
The students who will be selected will be able to apply for a PROMOS scholarship from the RUB International Office.
