Study German culture, history, politics, and more, on campus or while studying abroad!
German Studies is a transnational and interdisciplinary program that encompasses the various German-speaking regions of central Europe and offers an intellectually diverse program—covering literature, history, politics, the arts, and philosophy.
In addition to our German Studies major and German minor, we also offer 4 types of 8-credit certifications, including the new Certification of Competency: German-Speaking Cultures.
German Outside of the Classroom
German Studies students can participate in language-focused student organizations, receive tutoring in the Language Resource Center or through Zoom, and even participate in a faculty-led study abroad in Vienna, Austria!
My favorite moments as an LLIS student were almost always in Dr. Sherman's classes. He is an enthusiastic and humorous professor who is passionate about teaching German while keeping it exciting. We read Graphic novels, listened to German music, and watched German movies and television shows. This is something I would have never had the opportunity to experience if it wasn't for Dr. Sherman.
