  • Students will gain an enriched quality of life through appreciation for the arts  and preparation for graduate studies and a rewarding career or profession.

German is Europe’s most widely distributed language. The official language of Austria, Germany, Liechtenstein and Switzerland, German is the language of Europe’s foremost business economy. Students of music, psychology, theology, and the laboratory sciences find German to be of inestimable value. Mastery of German at the intermediate level equips students to read, write, converse, and do basic academic research.

Two years of German study are available regularly, and advanced courses are available by individual arrangement with the professor.
