Both cities are in southern Germany and steeped in history; housing the branch campus, for example, is a Renaissance castle.<\/p>\n<p>Gerloff explained that OSU business and engineering students who take part in an exchange would encounter a course schedule that had them focusing on a single subject for one or two weeks, then repeating the process throughout the term with new subjects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur students like just focusing on one topic at a time,\u201d he said. \u201cThey don\u2019t have to focus on anything else. But some international students think it\u2019s too intense, that you don\u2019t have time to let it sink in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Class size tops out at about 30 students, Gerloff said, which is necessary because of the compressed, accelerated nature of the coursework.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat works a lot better in smaller classes than larger ones,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The business program focuses on international business administration, with everything taught in English. Prior to the start of classes, however, is a German-language course geared toward helping international students make their away around the country. Classes feature a mix of students from different nations.<\/p>\n<p>The program is available in one- or two-semester options and is available at both campuses in the spring and at Mosbach in the fall as well.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, drop by the College of Business advising office, 122 Austin Hall, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. weekdays or call 541-737-3716.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prof. Dr. Axel Gerloff, an economics scholar from Duale Hochschule Baden-Wuerttemberg, spoke to students and advisors July 27 about study-abroad opportunities in his home country of Germany.
