German Minor

Program description

German is one of the world's major languages and is the most widely spoken language in the European Union after English. Minors in German study the spoken language, as well as the literature, media, and culture of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. German speakers have played a prominent role in literature, art, music, and philosophy. “Made in” Germany, Austria, or Switzerland are labels that signal quality of products, design, and lifestyle.

The German minor opens the door to many career paths in business, politics, education, engineering and the sciences, and the fine arts.
