German

Description

Studying a foreign language, literature, or culture is an enriching experience and an important part of a general education. Achieving proficiency in a foreign language not only has immense practical value in the increasingly networked world, it also opens whole new dimensions and vistas in the mind. German is a liberal arts major with the added benefit of communicative skills in an important language.

Students majoring in German develop an understanding of a foreign culture; a heightened understanding of how languages function and how they shape our minds and our world; and an ability to speak, read, write, and understand a language with 121 million speakers and a vital social and economic role in the newly unified Europe. A German major is an excellent preparation for a variety of business careers, for graduate and professional programs (including law school), for teaching careers at various levels, and for life as an educated and enlightened citizen of the world.
