Major: German Studies
Having the ability to communicate successfully across cultures, as well as the expertise to apply language and cultural engagement skills in local and global situations, will enhance your career prospects in a range of professions with an international outlook. An understanding of German is a useful professional skill that can be especially valuable when combined with a wide range of disciplines, including accounting, economics, education, international communication, law, media, politics or science.

The German Studies major will provide you with a sound knowledge of the German language and culture through intensive language teaching and a critical analysis of Germany’s literature, history and culture. You’ll study the German language and its varieties in literature, film, history, culture and its major city, Berlin. Units are available from beginner to advanced level.
