German

The department integrates in-depth learning of German language with study of the nation's history and culture, helping you gain both language proficiency and an understanding of German literature, history, art, and politics in the context of modern society.

You may enhance your learning by taking part in our semester-abroad program in Cologne, Germany. You'll live with a German family, study German language and culture, take weekly trips to nearby places of interest, and immerse yourself in the German way of life. A junior-year program at Heidelberg University offers similar benefits.

An array of co-curricular activities -- such as visiting lecturers, films, trips to cultural centers in nearby cities, German television broadcasts, and German Club -- enrich your coursework and your understanding of German language and culture.
