SPICE COMMUNICATIONS ERFURT (SPICE) PROGRAM

 

The SPICE program is an intensive summer study abroad program in Erfurt, Germany, offered through The University of Texas at Austin College of Communication and the University of Erfurt Department for Media and Communication. Two courses are taught by U.S. faculty on the campus of the University of Erfurt over the course of this nine-week program. A one-week stay in Berlin includes visits to media organizations and PR firms.
