Collection Guidelines: German Studies: Departmental Focus

"The Department offers two undergraduate programs leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree. The major in German offers training in verbal and written interpretation and analysis and is useful for any career that involves formulating and solving problems, especially for those with a particular interest in Europe and the German-speaking countries.  The major in German Cultural Studies is designed for students who wish to hone their critical skills to analyze various aspects of culture and society, such as literature, film, art, architecture, and political and social institutions. 

The Graduate Program (Master’s and PhD) offers a broad, flexible and integrated curriculum.  Students gain in-depth knowledge of the language, literature, and thought of German-speaking Europe and develop critical and discursive skills through research and scholarly writing." (About German Studies)
