Scott Reagan of Wind Gap Spending Semester in Germany

2014 Oct 24

Scott Reagan of Wind Gap, Pa., is one of 26 Lebanon Valley College students studying away for the fall 2014 semester. Reagan is spending the semester in Germany as part of the College's study abroad program, which includes 12 foreign countries and two stateside internship opportunities.

In this program, students attend the Freie Universität, one of Germany's premier institutions of higher education, located in the Southwest sector of Berlin. The university was founded in 1948, and has an enrollment of approximately 30,000 students. Berlin is Germany's capital and is known as a dynamic, multicultural center. The city is home to 3.4 million people and is located in Northeastern Germany. Berlin features countless museums, opera houses, and theaters along with a rich past, spanning many centuries of German history. Students receive a monthly transportation pass for travel around the city of Berlin.

Reagan, a graduate of Pen Argyl Area High School, is pursuing a bachelor of arts in German and international studies at The Valley.

The College is in the process of developing a handful of new short-term programs that would make it even easier for busy students to study off-campus. In the spring semester, two new course-embedded programs will be offered in Italy and England. By the time they graduate, nearly 20 percent of LVC students will have spent time studying and traveling abroad, experiences that will shape and inform the rest of their lives as global citizens.
