Germany

Cityscape in Germany

offers students the chance to work in an innovative, interdisciplinary, and project-oriented environment.

Germany is a country full of beautiful forests, rivers, and mountains. Weimar is known as the birthplace of the Bauhaus movement and is home to many famous creative writers, artists, composers, and architects. It is a small historical city about one hour by train from Berlin.

“The Bauhaus program is one the best opportunities 51Ϲ has offered me. I surprised myself by how strong I am, and I gained a whole lot of self-worth and that is so valuable as an artist.” –Bridget Krohlow '16
