The undergraduate program in the German department provides an extensive selection of courses covering the language, cultures, and literary works of German-speaking regions. Students can major in German Literature and Culture or minor in German Language, with an option for a combined major in German and Linguistics. For those without German proficiency, interdisciplinary courses in English explore topics like German history, philosophy, art, and literature. The department hosts engaging events such as Free Pizza Freitag lunches, semester celebrations, and supports student organizations like Goethes Tisch and Immersion Club. Annual awards honor exceptional undergraduate accomplishments in German studies. Deutsches Haus, NYU's German cultural hub, organizes diverse programming including film screenings, concerts, lectures, and exhibitions. With a focus on personalized guidance and small class sizes (typically under 15 students), the department fosters close mentorship and provides communal spaces for study and socializing. Both advanced and select introductory courses are led by full-time faculty who also serve as academic advisors.
