Deutsche Sommerschule - German - Department of Foreign Languages & Literatures at PSU

The Deutsche Sommerschule am Pazifik, now in its 50th year, is recognized as the nation's premier immersion program for German Studies. The Sommerschule is open to students of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life. The only prerequisite is two years of college-level German (or its equivalent) and an interest in German language and culture. Students learn German by living it, promising to speak only German both inside and outside of class for the duration of the Sommerschule. Students and faculty live and learn together on the idyllic campus of Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon.

The Deutsche Sommerschule offers a variety of extracurricular activities: music, sports, and excursions to Oregon's stunning Cascade Mountains and rugged coast. Visiting German writers, artists, and scholars complement the program with lectures and presentations. The Sommerschule offers a unique opportunity - combining stimulating intellectual and academic pursuits in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere of camaraderie.
