The German Department introduces students to the broad arena of German language, culture, literature, arts, history, and politics. Our strong proficiency based methods of teaching in tandem with the exceptional opportunities for study abroad enable our students to excell in linguistic proficiency and intellectual sophistication.  In addition to its focus on German language, the department also actively engages in inter-disciplinary teaching across the college and seeks to provide all students a broader understanding of German cultural, business, and social life.
