German is the official language of five European countries and an understanding of German language and culture is essential to any understanding of European history. Courses are offered in German language, literature and culture. In Slavic studies the department offers language courses in Russian, Ukrainian and Polish пПС the three largest Slavic language groups. The Slavic countries of eastern Europe exert an important influence on international affairs.
