WELCOME TO THE UNO-INNSBRUCK INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL

UGA AS PARTNER INSTITUTION

The University of Georgia entered into a formal affiliation with The International Summer School in 1992. Over 2000

Georgia students and faculty have participated in this program. Credits earned transfer as appropriate credit at UGA, and

financial assistance is available for qualified students. Information is available through the Office of International

Education, 1324 South Lumpkin Street, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602 | (706) 542-2900 | international.uga.edu

Students may also consult UGA faculty who participate in the program.

Since 1976, the UNO-Innsbruck International Summer School has enabled almost 10,000 students to pursue their

studies in Innsbruck, a city nestled in the towering Alps. From this capital in the heart of Europe our students have

ventured out and travelled to many parts of the European continent. In the process they have immersed themselves in

foreign cultures, encountered new people, and become global citizens. The Innsbruck International Summer School, a

pioneer among American overseas summer programs, has been turning its students into citizens of the world for over

forty years. UNO and the University of Innsbruck have long been active partners and have been granted the

prestigious Euro-Atlantic Culture Award for International Education based on “their remarkable contribution to the

scientific and cultural exchange between Europe and the USA.” This summer, the Innsbruck International Summer

School has selected faculty from fine universities across the U.S. and Europe. Our classrooms will be enriched by the

contributions of participating University of Innsbruck students. Join us in Innsbruck to learn and to enjoy the benefits

of travel.

Dr. Robert Dupont, Academic Director, The UNO-Innsbruck International Summer School 2016

Welcome to UNO-Innsbruck! The continued success of the UNO-Innsbruck International Summer School represents a

significant milestone and a proud achievement at the University of New Orleans. Over the last four decades, thousands

of students, faculty and staff have become a part of the extended UNO-Innsbruck family. Perhaps your friends or a

professor recommended it to you or, perhaps, your siblings have been and now it is your turn. Or, perhaps, you are one

of the many legacy students who will choose UNO-Innsbruck because your mother or father attended this program in

the early years. UNO-Innsbruck is widely known locally and abroad and has become an institution in its own right. I

invite you to come with us and make your mark in Innsbruck!

Alea M. Cot, Assistant Provost for International Education

The University of New Orleans is proud to welcome you to the 41st session of The Innsbruck International Summer

School. International study programs offer extraordinary educational opportunities as well as an introduction to the

unique and enriching attributes of foreign cultures. As you participate in all of the many activities afforded by your host

country, please remember that you are also serving as a cultural ambassador for your university and the United States. I

hope that this summer will expand your worldview and cultivate a love for international travel. This program is a source

of pride for the University of New Orleans, and I am certain that its benefits will be long-lasting. Welcome and enjoy

your summer abroad!

PROPOSED COURSES OF THE INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL 2016

Page 4: THE INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL in Innsbruck, Austria

ELIGIBILITY & ADMISSION

GUIDELINES for

ALL STUDENTS

Undergraduates with a 2.5 GPA, graduate

students with a 3.0 GPA, and non-degree

seeking students are eligible to apply. New

students seeking college credits must meet

the general admissions requirements of The

University of New Orleans. Guest students

from other institutions and continuing

University of New Orleans students must

meet the grade point requirements above.

Priority will be given to students enrolled in

a university program. After review of all

application materials, students will be

notified in writing of acceptance into The

International Summer School.

HOW TO APPLY Apply online: http://inst.uno.edu/austria/

Click on “Apply Here” to begin the

application process. In addition to the online

application, you must complete and submit

all application materials, including a

transcript, before your application can be

reviewed for acceptance into the program.

Course selection takes place at the time of

application but cannot be guaranteed until

the student is accepted.

COURSE SCHEDULING

• Course scheduling will be arranged based

on a student’s eligibility first and

preference list second. In the event of time

conflicts or if class quotas of 15 per class

have been reached, students will be

assigned to course(s) on their alternate list.

• The International Summer School requires

all students to complete at least 6 hours (2

courses) and allows enrollment in 9 hours

(3 courses).

UGA students will be responsible for paying a

$250 study abroad fee in addition to the program

fee. The Credit Approval Form needs to be on file

in the OIE in order to receive federal, state or

institutional financial aid, including HOPE, Zell

Miller, and other scholarships for studying abroad.

UGA students are also eligible for the Ambassador

Awards and can get more information about these

in the OIE. UGA financial aid, such as the HOPE

scholarship, is based on the number of credits

students earn during the program and is calculated

at the UGA tuition rate. Students can obtain a

Credit Approval Form from the UGA Office of

International Education or by accessing the UNO

Innsbruck page on the GoAbroad Portal at

goabroad.uga.edu.

UGA students should contact the UGA Office of

International Education to schedule an advising

appointment with a Study Abroad Advisor if they

have any questions about studying abroad, the

credit transfer process, Credit Approval Form,

scholarships, or financial aid.

ELIGIBILITY & ADMISSION

GUIDELINES for UGA STUDENTS University of Georgia students participating in

The International Summer School must complete

the UGA Study Abroad Credit Approval Form

for UNO Innsbruck and submit it to the UGA

Office of International Education (OIE) no later

than 3 weeks prior to departure.

UGA students earn non-resident, transfer credit

issued by The University of New Orleans, and

grades earned on this program are calculated into

the students’ overall GPA at UGA. Students

should work with their Academic Advisor to

complete and sign the Credit Approval Form and

determine how the UNO Innsbruck classes will

transfer and apply to specific UGA degree

requirements or electives. UGA equivalents for

courses offered in The International Summer

School are listed in the UGA Credit Approval

Form, which is available online.

Some courses have precise UGA transfer

equivalents, while others may have a more

general transfer designation such as HIST 3T**,

which indicates only the department and course

level (in this case, a 3000 level History course).

If needed, students may work directly with an

academic advisor to determine a more precise

course transfer equivalent. Students are advised

to begin the Credit Approval Form process as

soon as the decision to participate in the UNO

Innsbruck program is made.

Small class sizes are a characteristic of the Innsbruck

Summer School and help students bond with each other

and their professors. Class field trips also contribute to

this positive and successful learning environment.

The program offers many extracurricular activities, such

as this trip to Neuschwanstein, the “Cinderella Castle.”

“My highlights were the opportunity to

travel, as well as being able to take major

core classes.”

Austin Edquist

The University of Georgia

“During the program, I was able to come

in contact with people who thought

differently than me. I interacted with

people from the States and from abroad,

and I, in turn, was able to see the world

through different perspectives.

This was truly invaluable.“

Anna Long

The University of Georgia

Our student ambassadors represent the program and their

universities at special events, such as this community

outreach project with a local soup kitchen, gaining

meaningful leadership experience.

Fine Arts students practice their drawing techniques

on a class field trip to Innsbruck’s Court Church.

“The field trips were amazing.

The teachers were fantastic.

I enjoyed the classes so much.”

Daniela Tejero

The University of New Orleans

“Go to Innsbruck! It will change your life!”

CURRICULUM In keeping with the purpose of The International

Summer School, courses are enhanced by the

setting in Austria and Europe. A concerted effort

is made in all courses to reinforce the classroom

instruction with the rich cultural surroundings.

While all courses are taught in English, students

are encouraged to take a German language

course either before or during the summer for a

better appreciation of the European experience.

All courses listed will carry three credit hours,

unless otherwise indicated. The academic

regulations at The University of New Orleans

will apply in Innsbruck as well. Freshmen and

sophomores are eligible to enroll in courses

attendance reflecting course grades.

UNIVERSITY OF INNSBRUCK The Leopold-Franzens University of Innsbruck,

founded in 1669 by Emperor Leopold I, is recog-

nized today as a major European institution of

higher learning and research. A long-standing

formal Friendship Agreement with the University

of Innsbruck affords UNO special access to the

resources and faculty of this great European uni-

versity. In turn, University of Innsbruck students

participate in the UNO-Innsbruck Summer

School, enriching class discussions with their

central European perspectives. This peer-to-peer

learning and intercultural exchange adds to the

success of our program and significantly enhanc-

es the study experience for all students.

The University of Innsbruck, one of Austria’s oldest

universities, has over 28,000 students enrolled.

Guest speakers, such as Rita Prigmore, a Sinti Holocaust

survivor, expand students’ learning on topics of current

and local interest.

“The glacier and silver mine field trips

were a once in a lifetime experience.”

Jordan Larson

Tulane University

Learning outside the classroom: Students take a class

field trip to the Brenner Base Tunnel, future site of

the world’s longest railway tunnel.

“This program really helped my

understanding of Austria, the cultures and

practices of its people, such as their commit-

ment to preservation and the environment.”

Parker Fields

The University of Texas at Austin

University of Innsbruck students join US students in

class and introduce them to “their Innsbruck.”

“My greatest learning experience was being

integrated into a classroom with local

students. They served as insightful and

inspiring figures to help us comprehend what

being a European citizen is like.”

Carly High

The University of North Carolina

“Making new friends was my highlight

of the program.”

40 years and counting

The UNO-Innsbruck International Summer School

celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2015. Almost

10,000 students have completed this program and,

in one way or another, their lives have been shaped

by this experience.

In 1976, the University of New Orleans initiated

its flagship study abroad program in Innsbruck. Its

founder, Dr. Gordon H. “Nick” Mueller, is often

referred to as a visionary. He is known as a man

who “thinks big,” so even for the first UNO-

Innsbruck program he chartered a Pan Am flight to

take 166 students to Innsbruck, and launched what

was to become one of the largest study abroad

programs of its kind in the United States.

Successes and challenges have shaped the Interna-

tional Summer School over the past four decades,

during which it has convened yearly without inter-

ruption. The program has adjusted to changing

times and student needs, but it has managed to

maintain its identity and academic integrity.

“UNO-Innsbruck” is widely recognized both in

New Orleans and Innsbruck. Since its initiation,

this program has spawned and cultivated a series

of partnerships on several levels. First and fore-

most, the partnership agreement between the

Universities of Innsbruck and New Orleans was

signed in 1983 and quickly became one of the

most active transatlantic university relationships:

student programs, joint symposia, publications,

art exhibitions, conferences, and centers dedicat-

ed to this mutual exchange. In 1995, the mayors

of Innsbruck and New Orleans signed a Sister

City Agreement, and a vibrant art exchange was

started.

So many lives and careers have been touched by

The International Summer School in Innsbruck,

Austria, and this summer it is your turn! Join the

41st class of UNO-Innsbruckers and be prepared

to have your summer of a life-time!

The first UNO-Innsbruckers, along with UNO’s first

chancellor Homer L. Hitt (right) and program founder

Gordon H. “Nick” Mueller (2nd from right), are about to

board their chartered plane to Europe.

“This program has transformed the lives of

thousands of individuals, broadening their

understanding of the past and sending them

in new directions for the future!”

the program to this day!

UNO and the University of Innsbruck receive the

Euro-Atlantic Culture Award for International Education

This prestigious prize was awarded to the University of New Orleans and the University of

Innsbruck for “their remarkable contribution to the scientific and cultural exchange be-

tween Europe and the USA.” The European Foundation for Culture “Pro Europa” supports

cooperation in the areas of art and science between the European Union and the United

States. The International Summer School is the cornerstone of the long-standing friendship

between UNO and the University of Innsbruck.

the insurance plan will be provided to each

student. The policy does not cover trip

cancellation or baggage loss. Such a policy

is available for purchase from ITS Tours or

other providers and is strongly recommend-

ed. (See program website for details.)

DISABILITY ACCOMMODATIONS The University of New Orleans is commit-

ted to providing an environment where all

students have the opportunity to equally

participate in the academic experience,

including students with disabilities.

Students with disabilities have rights as

determined by federal and state laws which

require institutions to provide reasonable

accommodations for the student’s disability

in order to afford an equal opportunity to

participate in UNO’s programs, courses,

and activities. Persons requiring disability-

related accommodations must notify the

program administration at the earliest

possible date so that their needs may be

properly assessed and reasonably

accommodated.

WEEKEND TRAVEL

Classes are scheduled from Monday to Thursday,

except for the first and last week when classes are

also held on Friday. Most of these long week-

ends are free for students’ individual travel and

offer a wonderful opportunity to explore Europe.

HOUSING

The International Summer School includes hous-

ing at a dormitory in Innsbruck. The facility of-

fers furnished rooms with a private bathroom and

shower. Internet access is available in all rooms.

Most rooms are doubles, but single rooms are

available for a fee of $550.00 (see web site for

details). A full breakfast buffet is served in the

dorm on class days.

CLASS FIELD TRIPS Most students in The International Summer

School will enjoy the opportunity to take class

field trips within Innsbruck, as well as other parts

of Austria and across international borders to

Italy and Germany. These trips are integral to

the courses and are generally free of charge to

the students.

We are convinced that these field trips provide

some of the real highlights and exceptional expe-

riences of The International Summer School.

Students should consult the individual course

descriptions provided in the online Summer

Course Guide for details about required field

trips, or call The International Summer School

office for more information. Students are advised

not to miss any required field trip(s) as this will

result in academic/participation penalties.

The Rössl dormitory is an easy walk to and from

the classroom building across the bridge.

Business classes visit the GE plant near Innsbruck and

participate in Q&A with company leaders and employees.

“Innsbruck is the perfect place to travel

from and come back to after traveling.”

Kayla Frandsen

The University of Georgia

Venice, Italy is a close and easy destination from Inns-

bruck and is visited by many of our students.

“I am in love with exploring the world

after the Innsbruck trip, and I want to see

as much of it as I can. Innsbruck gave

me the opportunity to see a large part of

Europe and I am so grateful.”

Allison Poche

“Dachau was the most meaningful field trip

and an experience of the history I think

everyone should understand and see.”

“I had an amazing time traveling and

learned a great deal from both classes.”

Austin Bracket

College of Charleston Students pay their respect to victims of the Holocaust on

a class field trip to the Dachau Concentration Camp

environment in an integrative way that you

don’t always get to experience.”
