The German major or minor emphasizes language learning, literary studies, and examining the social, cultural, and political evolution of German-speaking communities and countries. Learners cultivate analytical reasoning, critical evaluation, and communication abilities essential for thriving in an interconnected world. Numerous internship and study abroad options exist, including the faculty-directed VT in Germany summer initiative. VT's German program fosters a tight-knit environment where faculty personally engage with every student. Extracurricular activities like the student-led German Culture Club, Teach for Jamie (an elementary school German instruction program), regular Kaffeeklatsch gatherings, and other events offer ample German language practice.
