National Institute of Summer Scandinavian Studies (NISSS)

In 2009 the West European Studies National Resource Center and the Department of Germanic Studies will host the National Institute for Summer Scandinavian Studies (NISSS). The Institute is co-sponsored by a consortium of Title VI National Resource Centers including: Indiana University West European Studies Center, University of Wisconsin-Madison Center for European Studies, University of Washington Center for West European Studies, and the University of Minnesota European Studies Consortium. NISSS offers intensive language instruction with additional courses in Scandinavian culture and literature. Major funding for NISSS is provided through Title VI grants by the US Department of Education.
