Certificate in German for Engineering in Newark United States | University of Delaware

The Language Certificate Program provides non-majors first-hand knowledge of world languages and cultures. Students may not pursue a certificate for a language in which they major or minor. To earn the certificate, students take two courses in the target language in DLLC study abroad sessions, and two courses on the Newark campus. In addition, we offer a certificate in German for Engineering, open to Engineering students only.

The ability to use a foreign language and to employ knowledge about another culture is highly valued by the business and professional communities. Multilingualism and intercultural competence are essential credentials for leadership today in diverse fields. Our graduates choose a variety of career paths: some become teachers, translators or interpreters while others are employed in publishing, broadcasting, government, international travel, financial services or other areas of international business. Opportunities in international marketing, advertising and other communication industries provide further outlets for language skills that our students couple with other expertise acquired in joint or double majors. Some students enter careers with international organizations such as the United Nations, International Red Cross and the World Health Organization, while others go on to advanced degrees in preparation for work in international law, diplomacy and college teaching.
