About the Author:
Mark Ferguson is Program Director of the Junior Year in Munich – the oldest U.S. college-sponsored study abroad program in Germany – and Senior Lecturer in German at Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan. He holds a Ph.D. in German from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His interest in education abroad began at a young age beginning with his participation in the American Field Service program to Thailand while in high school. Throughout his college career – both undergraduate and graduate – he gained extensive international experience by living, studying, working and teaching in Europe (Paris, Freiburg, Mainz, Berlin, Bonn, Duisburg, Essen). Before coming to Wayne State University in 1991, he held positions as lecturer in German literature at the University of Essen in Germany and at Bates College in Maine. Since his appointment as Program Director of the Junior Year in Munich in 1995, he has helped many students build upon their study abroad experience to find jobs and start interesting, meaningful and well-paying careers.
Review:
Study Abroad Europe "requires and inspires both research and reflection [and] sets students up to learn more about current issues and policies in the US and the EU in order to discuss and compare both." -- Dr. Laurel Schenkoske, University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, Unterrichtspraxis/Teaching of German

Study Abroad Europe is "a very helpful aid for the individual student who is curious but needs guidance and for the faculty member who wants to create some structure around a given set of topics." -- Dr. Michael Woolf, Deputy President and Chief Academic Officer, CAPA International Education
