German Studies MinorWorld Languages & Cultures
College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences
This minor complements any degree. German has been the language of a major world culture for centuries and is the traditional language of science, medicine, philosophy, and the arts. As global commerce and communication become the norm, German Studies provides a solid basis for careers in business, law, human services, and diplomacy. Taught in German, this program offers a solid foundation in the language.
Study abroad is strongly encouraged. In-depth study of language and culture in a host country vastly improves language proficiency and intercultural competence.
