The Department of German offers three degree programs: the B.A. in German, the B.A. in German for International Trade, and the B.S. in Education in Secondary German Education.
While majoring in the German Department, students will acquire proficiency in all phases of the language and develop an understanding and appreciation of the history, culture, and literature of the German-speaking countries. They will also gain knowledge of the linguistic development of the language throughout the centuries. German majors may look forward to rewarding careers in teaching, government, journalism, foreign trade, tourism, business, and librarianship.
The degree program in German for International Trade provides an excellent way to combine language proficiency and cultural awareness in German with professional training in business. With this undergraduate background, students may enter M.B.A. degree programs and pursue careers in international business and trade. Study abroad for one or two semesters is strongly urged and is an integral part of the program. Qualified students may also choose to participate in internship programs with German-based corporations and financial institutions.
