Baden-Württemberg Program
Since 1964, the University of Massachusetts has had an exchange program with the universities of Baden-Württemberg, a state in southwestern Germany. Baden-Württemberg is Germany's most economically powerful state and is the headquarters of several international companies. Possible universities at which to study include the Universities of Freiburg, Heidelberg, Hohenheim, Konstanz, Mannheim, Stuttgart, Tübingen, Ulm, and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. These universities offer study in virtually all academic disciplines. You can find anything you're looking for!
