German Program

The German program is designed to enrich the educational and professional qualifications of students interested in any field.  A German major can stand alone as a field of study that enables students to participate - through language and in-depth study of texts, documents, and cultural objects - in both the contemporary life and the historical study of a major world culture.  At the same time, the tools of linguistic and cultural understanding developed in a German major enrich students' knowledge and professional prospects in any field, and the major is designed to be combined successfully across departments and colleges, from engineering and business to design and education.
