Description
The German Studies program offers students the opportunity to study German — the native language of more than 100 million people in the world. Students not only learn this widely spoken language, but also study German literature and culture through diverse and richly layered courses and a variety of cultural programs. The accomplished faculty of the German program offers dynamic attention to the diverse learning styles of students through the use of innovative and individualized teaching methods that make the German language, literature, and culture come to life in the classroom. Students continue their learning outside of the classroom — through small group practice session with a German foreign language assistant — as well as through 30-minute conversation opportunities offered five days a week, and fun-filled events as well as seasonal celebrations offered throughout the semester. Interested students are encouraged to consider studying abroad in Germany for full language and cultural immersion.
