The focus of the UNO-Innsbruck International Summer School is to provide a meaningful learning experience and a favorable learning environment for all its participants. To this end, classes are kept small and faculty members are selected carefully and are encouraged to enhance their courses by taking advantage of the European setting through class field trips and guest lectures. The small class sizes have become characteristic for UNO-Innsbruck and help students bond with each other and their professors. Each class is capped at 18 U.S. students, but is also open to students from the University of Innsbruck, UNO’s partner institution abroad. This gives all students the opportunity to meet their peers and exchange perspectives, opinions, and experiences in class.
The academic regulations currently imposed at the University of New Orleans will apply in Innsbruck as well. All students must enroll in and maintain 6 credit hours, i.e. 2 courses. All courses listed carry 3 hours of semester credit that will be transferred back to the students' home institution via electronic transcript.
“My greatest learning experience was being integrated into a classroom with local students. They served as insightful and inspiring figures to help us comprehend what being a European citizen is like.” Carly High, The University of North Carolina

Class Field Trips
All classes will have a number of field trips, which are integral to the courses, and are led by faculty members. Most field trips will take place on weekday afternoons, following morning classes, but some will occur on weekends. Students should consult the program calendar (or with the Innsbruck program office) before planning any activities or travels.
These field trips will include destinations in Italy and Germany, as well as to local sites and places of interest in and around Innsbruck and Austria. All field trips and site visits are mandatory.
