WELCOME TO THE UNO-INNSBRUCK INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL
The University of New Orleans is proud to welcome you to the 41 st session of The Innsbruck International Summer
School. International study programs offer extraordinary educational opportunities as well as an introduction to the
unique and enriching attributes of foreign cultures. As you participate in all of the many activities afforded by your host
country, please remember that you are also serving as a cultural ambassador for your university and the United States. I
hope that this summer will expand your worldview and cultivate a love for international travel. This program is a source
of pride for the University of New Orleans, and I am certain that its benefits will be long-lasting. Welcome and enjoy
your summer abroad!
Dr. John W. Nicklow, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, the University of New Orleans
Since 1976, the UNO-Innsbruck International Summer School has enabled almost 10,000 students to pursue their
studies in Innsbruck, a city nestled in the towering Alps. From this capital in the heart of Europe our students have
ventured out and travelled to many parts of the European continent. In the process they have immersed themselves in
foreign cultures, encountered new people, and become global citizens. The Innsbruck International Summer School, a
pioneer among American overseas summer programs, has been turning its students into citizens of the world for over
forty years. UNO and the University of Innsbruck have long been active partners and have been granted the
prestigious Euro-Atlantic Culture Award for International Education based on “their remarkable contribution to the
scientific and cultural exchange between Europe and the USA.” This summer, the Innsbruck International Summer
School has selected faculty from fine universities across the U.S. and Europe. Our classrooms will be enriched by the
contributions of participating University of Innsbruck students. Join us in Innsbruck to learn and to enjoy the benefits
of travel.
Dr. Robert Dupont, Academic Director, The UNO-Innsbruck International Summer School 2016
Welcome to UNO-Innsbruck! The continued success of the UNO-Innsbruck International Summer School represents a
significant milestone and a proud achievement at the University of New Orleans. Over the last four decades, thousands
of students, faculty and staff have become a part of the extended UNO-Innsbruck family. Perhaps your friends or a
professor recommended it to you or, perhaps, your siblings have been and now it is your turn. Or, perhaps, you are one
of the many legacy students who will choose UNO-Innsbruck because your mother or father attended this program in
the early years. UNO-Innsbruck is widely known locally and abroad and has become an institution in its own right. I
invite you to come with us and make your mark in Innsbruck!

HOW TO APPLY
Apply online: http://inst.uno.edu/austria/
Click on “Apply Here” to begin the
application process. In addition to the online
application, you must complete and submit
all application materials, including a
transcript, before your application can be

“The field trips were amazing.
The teachers were fantastic.
I enjoyed the classes so much.”
Daniela Tejero
The University of New Orleans
ELIGIBILITY & ADMISSION
GUIDELINES for UGA STUDENTS
University of Georgia students participating in
The International Summer School must complete
the UGA Study Abroad Credit Approval Form
for UNO Innsbruck and submit it to the UGA
Office of International Education (OIE) no later
than 3 weeks prior to departure.
UGA students earn non-resident, transfer credit
issued by The University of New Orleans, and
grades earned on this program are calculated into
the students’ overall GPA at UGA. Students
should work with their Academic Advisor to
complete and sign the Credit Approval Form and
determine how the UNO Innsbruck classes will
transfer and apply to specific UGA degree
requirements or electives. UGA equivalents for
courses offered in The International Summer
School are listed in the UGA Credit Approval
Form, which is available online.
Some courses have precise UGA transfer
equivalents, while others may have a more
general transfer designation such as HIST 3T**,
which indicates only the department and course
level (in this case, a 3000 level History course).
If needed, students may work directly with an
academic advisor to determine a more precise
course transfer equivalent. Students are advised
to begin the Credit Approval Form process as
soon as the decision to participate in the UNO
Innsbruck program is made.
COURSE SCHEDULING
• Course scheduling will be arranged based
on a student’s eligibility first and
preference list second. In the event of time
conflicts or if class quotas of 15 per class
have been reached, students will be
assigned to course(s) on their alternate list.
• The International Summer School requires
all students to complete at least 6 hours (2
courses) and allows enrollment in 9 hours The program offers many extracurricular activities, such
(3 courses).
as this trip to Neuschwanstein, the “Cinderella Castle.”
Fine Arts students practice their drawing techniques
on a class field trip to Innsbruck’s Court Church.
“During the program, I was able to come
in contact with people who thought
differently than me. I interacted with
people from the States and from abroad,
and I, in turn, was able to see the world
through different perspectives.
This was truly invaluable.“
Anna Long
The University of Georgia
Small class sizes are a characteristic of the Innsbruck
Summer School and help students bond with each other
and their professors. Class field trips also contribute to
this positive and successful learning environment.
UGA students will be responsible for paying a
$250 study abroad fee in addition to the program
fee. The Credit Approval Form needs to be on file
in the OIE in order to receive federal, state or
institutional financial aid, including HOPE, Zell
Miller, and other scholarships for studying abroad.
UGA students are also eligible for the Ambassador
Awards and can get more information about these
in the OIE. UGA financial aid, such as the HOPE
scholarship, is based on the number of credits
students earn during the program and is calculated
at the UGA tuition rate. Students can obtain a
Credit Approval Form from the UGA Office of
International Education or by accessing the UNO
Innsbruck page on the GoAbroad Portal at
goabroad.uga.edu.
“My highlights were the opportunity to
travel, as well as being able to take major
core classes.”
Austin Edquist
The University of Georgia
UGA students should contact the UGA Office of
International Education to schedule an advising
appointment with a Study Abroad Advisor if they
have any questions about studying abroad, the
credit transfer process, Credit Approval Form,
scholarships, or financial aid.

Our student ambassadors represent the program and their
universities at special events, such as this community
outreach project with a local soup kitchen, gaining
meaningful leadership experience.
CURRICULUM
In keeping with the purpose of The International
Summer School, courses are enhanced by the
setting in Austria and Europe. A concerted effort
is made in all courses to reinforce the classroom
instruction with the rich cultural surroundings.
While all courses are taught in English, students
are encouraged to take a German language
course either before or during the summer for a
better appreciation of the European experience.
Guest speakers, such as Rita Prigmore, a Sinti Holocaust
survivor, expand students’ learning on topics of current
and local interest.
EXAMS, TRANSCRIPTS &
CERTIFICATES
• Mid-term and final examinations will be given
in all courses. Class attendance is required of
every student.
• An official transcript from The University of
New Orleans will be sent to each student’s
home institution at no extra cost.
• A special certificate will be awarded to students
who complete nine hours with academic
distinction (at least two A’s and one B).
• All students will also receive a certificate of
attendance reflecting course grades.
“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
“This program really helped my
understanding of Austria, the cultures and
practices of its people, such as their commitment to preservation and the environment.”

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
The University of New Orleans and The
International Summer School strongly believe that the European educational experience should be made available to as many
qualified students as possible. To this end,
several awards are available to UNO and
UGA students who exhibit high academic
achievement, can clearly demonstrate financial need, and whose academic plans will
benefit most from this experience. Recipients
are designated as Ambassadors and are expected to assist during and after the program.
For further information please contact The
International Summer School office at UNO.
Any student may be eligible to use financial
aid, grants, or other forms of financial assistance for this program. Non-UNO students
must apply for Financial Aid at their home
institutions.
TRAVEL INFORMATION
“Caution: This program has
life-altering effects!”
Misti Elting, UNO-Innsbruck ‘94
Randolph-Macon Woman’s College
Students may purchase their airline tickets
on the group flight options arranged by ITS
Tours (see below and program website), or
they may opt to purchase their tickets
independently. The program administration
does not recommend purchasing an airline
ticket before the student is accepted into
The International Summer School program.
Students will be informed in writing about
their acceptance.
TRAVEL DATES
The International Summer School 2016 starts
on Saturday, July 2 and ends on Saturday,
August 6. To arrive on July 2, you must
depart the U.S. on July 1 (overnight flight).
All students must check into the dormitory
by late afternoon on July 2, in time for the
mandatory orientation (details TBA).
Return date is Saturday, August 6.
AIRPORT TRANSFER
The program will provide round-trip bus

40 years and counting
The UNO-Innsbruck International Summer School
celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2015. Almost
10,000 students have completed this program and,
in one way or another, their lives have been shaped
by this experience.
In 1976, the University of New Orleans initiated
its flagship study abroad program in Innsbruck. Its
founder, Dr. Gordon H. “Nick” Mueller, is often
referred to as a visionary. He is known as a man
who “thinks big,” so even for the first UNOInnsbruck program he chartered a Pan Am flight to
take 166 students to Innsbruck, and launched what
was to become one of the largest study abroad
programs of its kind in the United States.
The festive Opening Ceremony remains a highlight of
the program to this day!
RAILPASSES
For weekend travel through Europe and travel before and/or after the program, rail is the
best and cheapest mode of transportation. We
recommend a Eurailpass, which must be
purchased in the U.S. before departure. Students may purchase a Eurailpass from ITS
Tours or independently. To learn more about
Eurailpasses, visit the program web site. As
Eurailpasses are based on the exchange rate
between USD and Euros, the railpass price
is not fixed until it is actually purchased.
GROUP FLIGHT
ITS Tours has arranged group flights on the
SkyTeam Alliance Airlines (Delta and Air
France-KLM) and Star Alliance Partners
(United and Lufthansa), as well as some
seats on American Airlines. The flights will
depart from Atlanta or New Orleans on July
1, 2016, arriving in Munich, Germany on
July 2, and return on August 6. Group seats
on each airline are limited, and they are sold
on a first-come, first-served basis. The cost
for round-trip airfare from Atlanta to Munich
is $1,895.00, and from New Orleans to Munich it is $1,995.00, if full payment is received by Monday, March 28, 2016.

“UNO-Innsbruck” is widely recognized both in
New Orleans and Innsbruck. Since its initiation,
this program has spawned and cultivated a series
of partnerships on several levels. First and foremost, the partnership agreement between the
Universities of Innsbruck and New Orleans was
signed in 1983 and quickly became one of the
most active transatlantic university relationships:
student programs, joint symposia, publications,
art exhibitions, conferences, and centers dedicated to this mutual exchange. In 1995, the mayors
of Innsbruck and New Orleans signed a Sister
City Agreement, and a vibrant art exchange was
started.
So many lives and careers have been touched by
The International Summer School in Innsbruck,
Austria, and this summer it is your turn! Join the
41st class of UNO-Innsbruckers and be prepared
to have your summer of a life-time!
The first UNO-Innsbruckers, along with UNO’s first
chancellor Homer L. Hitt (right) and program founder
Gordon H. “Nick” Mueller (2nd from right), are about to
board their chartered plane to Europe.
Successes and challenges have shaped the International Summer School over the past four decades,
during which it has convened yearly without interruption. The program has adjusted to changing
times and student needs, but it has managed to
maintain its identity and academic integrity.
“This program has transformed the lives of
thousands of individuals, broadening their
understanding of the past and sending them
in new directions for the future!”

UNO and the University of Innsbruck receive the
Euro-Atlantic Culture Award for International Education
This prestigious prize was awarded to the University of New Orleans and the University of
Innsbruck for “their remarkable contribution to the scientific and cultural exchange between Europe and the USA.” The European Foundation for Culture “Pro Europa” supports
cooperation in the areas of art and science between the European Union and the United
States. The International Summer School is the cornerstone of the long-standing friendship
between UNO and the University of Innsbruck.
WEEKEND TRAVEL
Venice, Italy is a close and easy destination from Innsbruck and is visited by many of our students.
Classes are scheduled from Monday to Thursday,
except for the first and last week when classes are
also held on Friday. Most of these long weekends are free for students’ individual travel and
offer a wonderful opportunity to explore Europe.
CLASS FIELD TRIPS
Most students in The International Summer
School will enjoy the opportunity to take class
field trips within Innsbruck, as well as other parts
of Austria and across international borders to
Italy and Germany. These trips are integral to
the courses and are generally free of charge to
the students.
We are convinced that these field trips provide
some of the real highlights and exceptional experiences of The International Summer School.
Students should consult the individual course
descriptions provided in the online Summer
Course Guide for details about required field
trips, or call The International Summer School
office for more information. Students are advised
not to miss any required field trip(s) as this will
result in academic/participation penalties.
“I am in love with exploring the world
after the Innsbruck trip, and I want to see
as much of it as I can. Innsbruck gave
me the opportunity to see a large part of
Europe and I am so grateful.”
Allison Poche

HOUSING
The International Summer School includes housing at a dormitory in Innsbruck. The facility offers furnished rooms with a private bathroom and
shower. Internet access is available in all rooms.
Most rooms are doubles, but single rooms are
available for a fee of $550.00 (see web site for
details). A full breakfast buffet is served in the
dorm on class days.
“Innsbruck is the perfect place to travel
from and come back to after traveling.”
