The German Department provides an extensive selection of courses covering the language, cultures, and literary works of German-speaking regions. In addition to its German language curriculum, the department features interdisciplinary classes conducted in English, exploring topics related to German culture, history, philosophy, art, and literature for students still developing German proficiency. Emphasizing close faculty-student relationships, the department keeps class sizes intimate (typically 15 students or fewer) and provides welcoming spaces for socializing, studying, and informal gatherings. Upper-level courses and select foundational language classes are led by full-time professors, all of whom also participate in student mentorship.
Linguistics is the systematic study of human language. It aims to identify what is essential, possible, and impossible in linguistic systems. While linguists analyze the distinct characteristics of individual languages, they simultaneously pursue universal linguistic principles with broad explanatory power. The field encompasses syntax (sentence structure), morphology (word formation), semantics (meaning), phonetics (speech sounds), phonology (sound patterns), historical linguistics (language evolution), sociolinguistics (language-society interactions), psycholinguistics, and neurolinguistics (brain representation of language).
