The IUPUI German studies curriculum equips students with both language skills and cross-cultural understanding. Linguistic competence involves developing the capacity to converse and write about everyday topics in German. Through a carefully structured sequence of language classes, learners build fluency before focusing on specific linguistic specializations. For cultural awareness, students explore modern society in German-speaking nations while drawing comparisons with American customs, institutions, and perspectives. This intercultural competence is further enhanced by studying influential historical events, cultural trends, and notable figures that have shaped today's German-speaking world, with particular emphasis on Germany.
