German Program
Why study German?
German is easy! Especially English native speakers can master German
with relative ease as both languages share a common history.
Through German, you will develop intercultural competence and drastically improve
your employment opportunities; whether you study international business, chemistry,
art history, or engineering—you will benefit greatly from knowing German. |
|
|
| German is the language of music, philosophy, literature, and science:
Beethoven and Mozart, Marx and Nietzsche, Goethe and Kafka, Einstein
and Alzheimer ... learning German will give you access to a rich
body of knowledge in many disciplines. |
|
|
| Furthermore: if you like to plan ahead you should know that many
academic graduate programs require or recommend German. |
About the Program
The German Program combines language study, intercultural training, literature,
art, history, and film. We offer elementary, intermediate, and advanced language
courses, as well as courses that deal with topics of special interest. Almost
all courses are conducted in German, but some of our advanced seminars are
offered in English and/or are cross-listed.
DU's German section, in conjunction with the Goethe Institut Chicago, also offers
testings for the internationally recognized Certificate German for the Profession
(for business related communication, ZDfB).
