Description

With Central College Abroad Vienna, students can experience two countries, Germany and Austria, in one program. The program begins with an optional 1 or 2 month intensive German-language program at the Goethe Institut in the Schwabisch Hall, Germany. The session provides the language preparation needed for the University of Vienna courses or continued language study.

CCA's program at the University of Vienna is the oldest continually operating American program offering enrollment at the university in operation since 1966.

Internships and service-learning projects for academic credit provide an invaluable complement to classroom work for students spending either a semester or a full year in Vienna. In addition to enhancing your resume, they also provide you with yet another opportunity to integrate into Austrian society.
