As a Modern Language Studies major with a concentration in German, you will explore the German language and culture, in courses taught both in the Modern Languages department (in German) and in other departments (in English). This interdisciplinary approach will enable you to see the connections between the study of language and literature on the one hand, and study in fields such as history, music, philosophy, and politics on the other. You’ll learn about what makes the culture of German-speaking countries tick, by learning about the people, places, issues – and controversies – that make it so fascinating. Moreover, your language courses will prepare you for exciting study abroad opportunities, which will enable you dramatically to increase your proficiency in German.
