The Department of German Studies offers a full range of courses in German language, literature and culture. Our students combine their interest in German-speaking countries with a wide variety of other pursuits: literature, history, philosophy, aesthetics, international relations, film and many more. The department encourages this approach with a flexible curriculum, collaboration with faculty in other departments, and course offerings which provide depth of cultural understanding and address current topics of interest.
