Students are offered the option of undertaking a 3- hour independent study project.
You must have a relevant background in the field of study (at least 9 hours) and be able to do independent research. You will work with an Austrian expert in your field and develop a major paper. The study project should have a European focus and include field research.
To set up an independent study, contact Salzburg College two months prior to the beginning of the program to work out a proposal. Your proposal must be approved by your academic advisor at home. (Fall, Spring)
In-course honors credit is available to qualified students for most courses. Requests must be made to the Salzburg College director within the first two weeks of classes. The In-Course Honors Contract specifies additional readings and/or field work and will be evaluated by the appropriate instructor.
Students who are in formal honors programs at their home institutions should receive approval in advance from their honors program directors.
I feel I have gained a lot of knowledge in my German and in my voice training. I feel very prepared for graduate school.
