- Investigate and analyze culture through upper year seminars about German literary, visual and performing arts, covering periods from the medieval, classicist, romantic agesto the contemporary culture of unification and integration or about cities such as Vienna and Berlin

Students will begin their German studies in first year with German 1030 and graduate with a Practical Certificate in German (3.0 courses). They will become proficient in one of the most important languages of the European union through three streamlined full-year language and culture courses that they can compliment with optional half-courses in conversation, business German, translation or culture.
