The MA program aims to expand upon the knowledge students gained in their BA studies. Following a concise set of core courses, students can explore their personal academic interests through offerings from German Applied Linguistics, Literature and Film Studies specialists, and related departments across the University. MA candidates have opportunities to co-instruct undergraduate classes, undergo teaching preparation, and fulfill a university teaching certification (Fundamentals in University Teaching milestone) while enrolled in the Germanic and Slavic Studies Department.

Additionally, we collaborate with Spanish and Latin American Studies to offer a Cultural Identities minor.
