The Berlin Consortium for German Studies (BCGS) is a joint venture of the University of Chicago, Columbia University, Cornell University, Johns Hopkins University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Princeton University in association with the University of Notre Dame and Vassar College.

Since its founding in 1995, the BCGS has brought more than 700 US and international students to pursue academic work at the Freie Universitat Berlin. During a semester or a full academic year, the students not only deepen their language proficiency and academic knowledge, they also gain a variety of personal and cultural experiences, which they take back home with them. Many subsequently return to Germany as diplomats, scientists, artists or writers who continue to function as mediators of transatlantic understanding.

The BCGS is an academic-year or spring semester program dedicated to helping students improve their German language skills by providing intensive language training, encouraging them to function independently in the German university system, and offering a program that allows them to fully experience German life, customs, and culture.

Students enroll at the Freie Universitat Berlin, which hosts a broad variety of departments. Students may also consider taking select courses at other universities in Berlin. Studying in Berlin for the full year opens the possibility of arranging full-time internships during the semester break in February and March.

The equivalent of at least two years of college-level German is required to apply to the program. The academic year program runs from September to July, while the spring semester program runs February to July.
