Some are most interested in reading classic works of literature and philosophy in the original language; others are preparing for a career in international business, law, or diplomacy; still others are simply fascinated by the challenge of mastering a foreign language and immersing oneself in another culture. Whatever your particular interest, you will be well served by the breadth of our course offerings as well as by the department’s many opportunities for study abroad and co-curricular involvement. Our department is considered to be one of the finest in the country. Classes are small, thought-provoking, intellectually challenging, and fun, and they are complemented by exciting co-curricular activities. Our faculty members are outstanding, enthusiastic teachers and experienced advisors. In addition to its language program, the German Studies major/minor offers courses which examine important aspects of European culture, art, philosophy, literature, media, and criticism from the Middle Ages to the present.

Everyone in the department is incredibly kind and welcoming and took the time to get to know me not just as a student, but as an individual. Being a part of the German department was a defining aspect of my time at WashU and one of the best decisions I made as an undergraduate.―Rebecca Schultz LA&＃039;18 Quick LinksStudent ResourcesUpcoming EventsOur PeopleContact UsAdditional information Arts & Sciences Graduate Studies in A&SCopyright 2024 by:Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. LouisFollow UsInstagramFacebookTwitterYouTubeContact Us:[email protected] the main Washington University in St. Louis website1 Brookings Drive / St. Louis, MO 63130 / wustl.edu
