Junior Year in Munich (JYM) is a program and a partnership between Wayne State University and Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich that sends dozens of students to Munich, Germany each year. Originally commissioned in 1931 as an extension of programs inspired by the Delaware Plan, it was resumed post-war under the sponsorship of Wayne State University in 1953.

Students are immersed in German language and culture by living among other Germans in Studentenstadt Freimann as well as taking advanced classes alongside German students.

Today Dr. Mark Ferguson as well as a resident director in Munich, Dr. Hans-Peter Söder, direct the program.
