MA in German Studies in Stanford United States | Stanford University

The Department of German Studies at Stanford University offers graduate stipends for doctoral study in German. Core faculty in German Studies represent a broad spectrum of approaches to literature and culture including philosophy and literature, political discourse, Jewish studies, Frankfurt School, literary theory, and visual culture. The historical scope spans from the Middle Ages to the present. German Studies at Stanford is an integral part of a vibrant intellectual community of literature and language departments that are combined in the Division of Literatures, Cultures, and Languages. Cross-disciplinary work within the division is fostered and encouraged by team-taught seminars, focal groups, research groups, lecture series, graduate conferences, and various other on-going opportunities for intellectual exchange. The many affiliated faculty members in other departments working on German culture, history, performance, politics, and art are also a valuable resource for graduate students wanting to work within a more broadly conceived German Studies model. Graduate students in German Studies at Stanford also receive excellent training in second language, and have the opportunity to teach for at least five quarters. Language courses are taught within the acclaimed Stanford Language Center.
