Studying a foreign language, literature, or culture is an enriching experience and an important part of a general education. Achieving proficiency in a foreign language not only has immense practical value in the increasingly networked world, it also opens whole new dimensions and vistas in the mind.

German is a liberal arts major with the added benefit of communicative skills in an important language. Students majoring in German develop an understanding of a foreign culture; a heightened understanding of how languages function and how they shape our minds and our world; and an ability to speak, read, write, and understand a language with 121 million speakers and a vital social and economic role in Europe and the world. A German major is an excellent preparation for a variety of business careers, for graduate and professional programs (including law school), for teaching careers at various levels, and for life as an educated and enlightened citizen of the world.

Major requirements in German can be completed only through daytime attendance.
