Study German at PC

At PC, you'll enjoy classes that are just the right size for you to practice and hone your communication skills in German: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. And you'll find that your professors are committed to providing you with the attention you deserve as you learn the German language and culture.

Study Abroad

The study abroad program at PC provides a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you to become immersed in German culture. In fact, it is recommended that you spend a semester or your junior year in Germany at the Karlsruhe University of Education or in Germany and Austria. The program is made possible by PC's cooperation with Central College in Iowa.

You can also choose to study abroad through other exchange programs which exist between PC and universities in Germany, Australia, England, and Scotland, among others.

Independent Travel and Study

You're not limited to these programs, however. With careful guidance from department faculty and college administrators, you can develop your own travel and study programs.

Amity Scholars

Interested in testing your German without leaving the United States? You can learn from four Amity Scholars -- fellowship students from foreign countries who spend the year living at PC. They'll be glad to help you with your conversational skills.

Carol International House

Adding to the on-campus experience is the Carol International House, PC's first residence hall designed with the living-learning concept in mind. It includes two spacious lounge areas with a fireplace, a full kitchen and dining area, a reading area, and a classroom with extensive instructional and informational technology.

Among the facility's 33 residents are the aforementioned Amity Students and PC students who have studied abroad and wish to keep that international exposure alive. The mix of cultures and experiences, coupled with ambitious programming, makes the Carol International House the center of international experience on campus.

Musician finds himself at PC

Christian Merchant epitomizes what a liberal arts education can do for someone. The math major and music minor "loves most things," he says, most notably math, music, reading, and war history. Since he is interested in so many things, Christian has had a difficult time focusing. He came to PC without direction, and he came here wanting to grow up.
