Austrian Studen Program - Overview: 

 

Since 1982, some 40 students from LFU and other Austrian universities have come to The University of New Orleans for the month of February to learn about American government, history, and society through specially designed classes. The program traditionally is kicked off with a four-day visit to Washington, D.C.,  followed by instruction in New Orleans.

There, classes are held every morning, while afternoons are dedicated to extracurricular activities and programs. Students may receive credit for classes taken in New Orleans at their home institutions.

Students are housed both with guest families and in facilities on campus.

 The Austrian Student Program was initiated by Professor Erich Thoeni at LFU and is co-organized by Center Austria with Ellen Palli, who has been managing the program on the Innsbruck side since 1989.
