Hungarian Language & Culture Course at the University of Szeged
From the University of Szeged
Particular thanks for getting this educational program going over thirty years ago is due to Professor Louis Elteto, one of our MBK founder, and is given credit for the initiative in the article.
Teaching Hungarian language and culture at the University of Szeged (at the time called József Attila University) started in 1971 when, initiated by Professor Lou Elteto, some students from Portland State University (Oregon, USA) came here to spend their ‘study abroad' year.
We have come a long way since then. The program has grown and in the mid-nineteen-eighties evolved into an exchange program involving all the member institutions of the Oregon State System of Higher Education. Since that time we have developed various cultural exposure programs with several partner institutions (Lewis & Clark College, Portland, Oregon; University of Wisconsin/Stevens Point; Florida State University, Tallahassee; Elon University, North Carolina; the Universities of Hull and Sussex in England, etc.) while the number of individual participants in our programs has also been growing. We receive applications from a great many countries including China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great-Britain, Holland, Japan, Kuwait, Norway, South-Korea, Sudan, Sweden, Taiwan, Turkey, etc.
By now HSC has become the international studies gateway of our university and we offer study programs to a great number of ‘Erasmus exchange students' who arrive from the member states of the European Union.
