The University of North Georgia has created a partnership with the Goethe-Institut, the premier global German language and cultural organization, that will provide advanced courses for UNG students and expand the university’s German language program. The Goethe-Institut, headquartered in Munich, has 159 centers throughout the world in more than 80 countries, but the agreement with UNG marks the first time the organization has partnered with an American university to offer language credit. The direct-enrollment program, in which UNG students will enroll in the institute, is the only one of its kind.
