The Halle FoundationThe School of Modern Languages has announced an important new partnership with The Halle Foundation.
Next fall will be the inaugural semester for the Applied Languages and Intercultural Studies (ALIS) Bachelor of Science degree at Georgia Tech and through a generous grant from The Halle Foundation, students pursuing the degree's German track will be able to spend a semester studying in Germany.
Bettina Cothran, Director and Professor of the German Program in the School of Modern Languages, led the formation of the partnership. She hopes that the program will ultimately enable every student enrolled in the German program to benefit from the Semester Abroad experience in Germany.
The Halle Foundation is an independent, public grant making charity established by Claus M. Halle in 1986. Its mission is to promote understanding, knowledge, and friendship between the people of Germany and those of the United States.
