Where You'll Study

The AIFS Abroad Global Education Center (GEC) in Salzburg is located in a building complex which includes doctors, offices, restaurants, cafes and shops. Students will take classes at the GEC and during their breaks they can relax or work in the common area. The Salzburg Director and Academic Director are available to help students adjust to life in Salzburg and provide a support system and a friendly and familiar face. Free Wi-Fi and a computer and printer are available for student use in the GEC.

Academic credit for the AIFS Salzburg program is awarded by Fairfield University. Fairfield University is a private Jesuit university founded in 1942 in Fairfield, Connecticut, well known for their commitment to international education. Fairfield is a fully accredited university and member of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. In 2020 Fairfield and AIFS Abroad partnered to develop a school of record relationship that will allow academic credit to be available for both Fairfield and non-Fairfield students. The Salzburg course syllabi and faculty credentials are reviewed and approved by Fairfield University.
