About the Berlin Program

Berlin Program Introduction
Stanford’s very first study abroad program was established in Beutelsbach, Germany, in 1958. Since then, the German program has changed markedly – not surprising in a host country that has itself undergone multiple transformations in the past century alone. By the mid-1970s, the program settled in the capital of Berlin, where it is housed in the historic Haus Cramer in the district Dahlem.
