Ever wonder what a day in the life of a German college student is like? (College is tuition-free, students are paid by their employer to go to school half the year and work the other half.) How humans and robots work together? How do businesses compete for customer market share globally? What is it like to be inside a medieval city? What makes Munich one of the most popular cities to visit in Europe? How the automobile evolved over the past 100+ years? What would it be like to see two of the most extensive car collections in the world?
All these topics will be covered in the Allen Term 2027 class on the German Auto Industry.
Additional special financial support is available to help reduce your cost.
There is an information session with free pizza Wednesday, April 22 at 4:45 pm in Olin 307 introducing the German History, German Art History and German Auto Industry classes.
Contact Business Dean Mark Lewis for information on the German Auto class or Professor Andrew Kless for information on the German History and Art History classes that run in parallel.
