JYM's 50th Anniversary The history of Wayne State University's Junior Year in Munich dates back to a tradition first developed in the early 1920s when - as an effort to promote international peace and understanding in the aftermath of World War I, a new form of international education was conceived for American undergraduates: the Junior Year Abroad. Based on the model of the University of Delaware's Foreign Study Plan, which made possible the first Junior Year Abroad program in Paris (1923), a "junior year plan" was extended to Germany in 1931. Munich was the site of the first Junior Year program in Germany. Following its first experimental year of 1931-32, a JYM program was sponsored by the University of Delaware until its suspension in 1939.

The
Junior Year in Munich was re-opened by Wayne State University in
1953, thereby making JYM the first US study abroad program in post-war
Germany. Since the first class of 12 JYM students arrived in the
fall of 1953, more than 3,500 students from 500 colleges and universities
have studied at LMU Munich with the JYM program. |
