Imagine studying in the city where Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, and Schubert lived and worked! Home to the famous Vienna Philharmonic, Vienna Boys’ Choir, and Vienna Opera, the “City of Music” also boasts some of the world’s finest art museums, historical sites, and Baroque architecture. Rated the world’s #1 Most Livable City nine years in a row, Vienna is the place to immerse yourself in language, history, art, music, and culture. Excursions to Florence and Venice, Italy, and Salzburg, Austria (budget permitting) will allow students to explore additional historical and cultural treasures.
