The Department of German strives to train students to accommodate cultural differences with flexibility and to thrive in global society while embracing relationships with people from other countries.
To that end, it offers two courses that students can choose during their first year based on their personalities so that they can master basic academic skills and advanced, specialized abilities.
The Course in German Studies gives students a deep understanding of German culture while fostering their ability to think for themselves through an intensive study of the German language, while the Advanced Course in European Studies invites students to study European culture through a study of primarily German, but also English and French, while fostering their ability to think from a comprehensive perspective.
Both courses seek to provide an educational experience that acknowledges changes in society and advances in information technology by incorporating the latest research findings and offering IT-related classes.
