German

The German major provides students the opportunity to gain a knowledge of German culture, literature, structure, and vocabulary. The department seeks to graduate majors and minors with an advanced command of the written and spoken language and with the general analytical, critical and communicative skills and global outlook essential to an educated member of society. The department strives to broaden students’ awareness of the nature of the language and of cultural and national diversities and similarities. It also strives to break down the barriers of ethnocentrism and xenophobia, thus increasing communication and understanding on an international scale. The department encourages students to work and/or study abroad.
