Germanic culture has significantly shaped European thought across various disciplines including philosophy, music, visual arts, religion, and socio-political history. Mastering German language skills enhances students' ability to engage with these cultural contributions. Given Germany's and other German-speaking nations' prominent positions in the European Union and global affairs, the Germanic Studies program benefits those pursuing studies in humanities, arts, and sciences. Beyond developing proficiency in reading, speaking, and writing German, participants explore the enduring legacy of Germanic writers and intellectuals as reflected in literature and academic scholarship, while also gaining insights into the diverse traditions of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
The Germanic Studies B.A. program allows students to focus on German language mastery while exploring cultural expressions through literature, cinema, and other artistic mediums.
