The Department

Information about the German Program in the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures:

Students may earn a German minor or may simply add one or two semesters of language study to boost graduate school and job applications. Being able to communicate in German and having a basic foundation in German history and culture significantly enhances the study of other fields, such as history, political science, global studies, music, art history, philosophy, psychology, sociology, and other disciplines.

Students taking German know that they enrich their academic and career opportunities. Learning German and gaining valuable insights into the history and culture of the German-speaking countries can offer a competitive edge in our increasingly global world. Recognizing the increasing interconnections in our global world, and Germany as one of the key players within the EU and in the international arena, the German Program, along with CSUIP, helps prepare students for graduate school and careers in a field of their interest.The program provides students with a stimulating and supportive learning environment, as well as personal advising within a vibrant community of German language students.
