Course Content
In the core courses for the German studies major, students develop a number of skills in German--including comprehension and speaking, and reading and writing--which prepare them to communicate effectively in German about everyday situations, literature, and culture. On all levels, students gain an awareness of the structure of languages and facility with the German idiom, enabling them to read and write reports and papers. In literature courses, students learn aesthetic appreciation through the interpretation of texts and to organize their thoughts for effective argumentation. Elective courses in German studies give students an interdisciplinary perspective, complementing the core courses in German with courses in history, art history, architecture, economics, music, film, and other fields relevant to German culture. Study abroad is strongly recommended to increase fluency and proficiency in the German language. The German studies program prepares its graduates for careers in business, history, political science, medicine, music, art history, psychology, philosophy, theology, and law, among others.
