The CC in Berlin program will take place in Blocks 1 through 4 in Fall 2024. There are no prerequisites, so students at any level of German can participate! If you participate for the whole semester you will take two German language classes at your level (from complete beginner to advanced, fulfills the all-college language requirement). In addition you will take a class on the cultural history of Berlin called "Babylon Berlin: From Rural Village to Global Metropolis" (taught by Profs. Bill Davis and Ane Steckenbiller) and a history class called "Berlin: Capital of the Twentieth Century" (taught by Prof. Jake Smith). The first course fulfills the all-college AIM requirement, Analysis and Interpretation of Meaning. The second course fulfills EPG, Equity and Power Global and HP, Historical Perspectives. There is no program fee for full semester students who are already paying CC tuition and standard room & board.

When students study on the full CC Semester in Germany (all 4 blocks), the tuition remains the same as the standard CC tuition for that semester, and a program fee is charged to cover room, some board, field trips, and the like. This program fee is charged instead of any CC on-campus housing placement and meal plan, which will not be assigned or charged for that semester.

 

Billing for CC-Led Semester & Half-Semester Programs

https://www.coloradocollege.edu/offices/globalandfieldstudy/global-education/semesters-off-campus/financial-aid-and-billing.html

 

For the 2024-25 academic year, the Program Fee for the full semester off-campus is $5175.

 There's also the option to go for two blocks only (blocks 1+2). Students who apply for a half-semester (two block) option may be charged an additional program fee, depending on your current housing situation.

  • Students who live on campus during the semester their program abroad runs, and who have a full standard meal plan do not pay any additional program fee as all housing and meal costs for the CC half-semester away are covered by funds transferred from the room & board charges already paid to Colorado College
  • Students who live in a campus cottage or apartment and use the apartment meal plan will be billed a program fee to cover meal costs on the CC half-semester program. For 2024-25, this fee is  $1011.
  • Students who live in CC campus housing and opt for no CC meal plan are billed a program fee to cover meal costs on the half-semester program. For 2024-25, this fee is $1250.
  • Students who live off campus, with no meal plan are billed a program fee to cover both housing and meal costs for the half-semester program. For 2024-25, this fee is $2,600.
