Majoring in German can take you where you want to go!
To study the cultures and language of the German-speaking world is to connect with the most powerful economy and an important political center in contemporary Europe. It is also to learn about a history of innovation and influence in the arts, philosophy, natural and social sciences, politics and technology from Gutenberg to Dürer, Luther, Leibniz, Kant, Goethe, Beethoven, Droste-Hülshoff, Marx, Nietzsche, Freud, Kafka, Arendt, and Merkel. Students in German engage with award-winning faculty to develop their creativity as well as core critical thinking and research skills, become more engaged citizens in a globally connected world, and prepare themselves for a wide spectrum of careers. German Studies graduates work in public policy, medicine, engineering, business, teaching, translation, medicine, scientific research, law and many other fields.
