The College of Visual Arts offers a student exchange with Hochschule für angewandte Wissenschaft und Kunst (HAWK), an art and design school in Hildesheim, Germany. Hildesheim is one of the oldest cities in northern Germany. It is best known for its half-timbered houses and Early Romanesque buildings, and a beautifully restored market square that was once considered to be among the loveliest in the world.

Students who go to HAWK will study the German language and take a variety of studio courses applicable to their major course of study at CVA. This program is a competitive program option to study abroad during the junior year. See requirements for application.
