The
following information is provided as a guide.
Applications to Würzburg are subject to
review and approval by the Office of Study
Abroad and an advertised program may be unavailable
due to imbalances in the exchange or for other
unforeseen circumstances. Program costs are
subject to change.

| Options |
Business
courses taught in English, while taking some

Engineering require students to have good German
skills, but some courses are available in English.
This is a tuition and room exchange, with students
responsible for their meals. The academic calendar
at Würzburg is based on a Winter and Summer
Term (which we would call Fall and Spring). Fall
(their Winter) runs from mid-September through
late January, and Spring (their Summer) runs
from early March through mid-July. NMSU students
should plan on studying one academic year, or
for Spring only. This
exchange covers tuition and room costs at NMSU
rates.
