German
    2010 - 2011 German Program Information

    60 credit hours


    An emphasis in German provides the essential language background for the advanced study of German; for competency in understanding, speaking, and writing the language and for a more rapid acquisition of other foreign languages (particularly Germanic languages such as Dutch). The courses are oral-proficiency based in order to enable students to converse in German as quickly as possible.


    Career Options
    The reunification of Germany has created many job opportunities in international relations, business and finance. German has emerged as an important language in both the European community and the world market. Combining the study of German with business or related degrees provides students with the tools to live and work in an international environment.
