The city of Berlin is one of the most fascinating places in Europe, both for its history and for its status as a cultural metropolis. With its important role in the Weimar Republic, its sites of political decisions and destruction during the last World War, and the fact that for over forty years it served as the symbol for Germany’s division, it is an excellent place for anyone who wants to become familiar with German and European history. Students will be asked to meet the requirements for the following courses, which meet on a MWTh schedule to accommodate occasional travel on the weekends. Successful completion of the German language course will satisfy the College language requirement. All courses, including the history course, count towards the German major and the Certificate of Advanced Study in German.

Berlin truly offers students a uniquely rich and layered experience. Culturally and ethnically diverse neighborhoods mark a city functioning not only as the federal and national, national capital, but also as the new center of European Union decision-making and business, and as a springboard to eastern Europe. Precisely these multifarious roles and tensions continue to make Berlin the setting for critical inquiry and a flourishing arts scene. In 2002, inspired by documenta11, Lexia in Berlin offered a parallel summer program in visual studies. Summer 2003 marked the beginning of an ongoing second track in Visual Culture. It is designed to make the most of what Berlin has to offer in the way of art collections and artistic innovation, to consider the conditions for creating, collecting, and displaying works of art, and to examine the interplay of culture and politics. Fall 2006 marked the beginning of Lexia's Architecture Program.
