Missouri USA Exchange
The Baden-Württemberg State Internship Exchange Programme in Partnership with the State of Missouri provides home stay and internship opportunities to students from pre-selected universities in Baden-Württemberg and Missouri. This programme is unique because it provides American and German students with a total immersion experience through an internship and home stay abroad over the summer months. Students can develop their language and business skills while learning in-depth about another country. The Exchange began in 1980 with a cooperation of Webster University in St. Louis and the University of Cooperative Education in Villingen-Schwenningen. More than 500 American and German students have participated in the exchange programme so far.
