1) Intensive Language (at beginning through advanced levels in German);
2) a Civilization Seminar, which includes a focus on German history, society, culture and civilization; and

Affiliated with the Atelierhaus Mengerzeille, an artists' cooperative founded in 1993, the Visual Culture Program is designed to help students grasp the significance of developments in contemporary art and architecture as artists respond to changes in the global economy, politics and society, as well as the arts' own traditions and trajectories.

- Art and Architecture, from Renaissance to the Future: Creating, Collecting, Exhibiting
- Visual Research Methods Seminar
- Visual Research Project/Internship The Visual Culture Track will run parallel to Lexia in Berlin's German Civilization and Culture Program, providing students the opportunity to explore the resources of both programs.
