German students work closely with faculty and often spend at least one semester abroad in one of Skidmore’s exciting and affordable programs in Berlin and Freiburg. Solid language and cross-cultural skills provide an important edge in today’s global market.
Courses in beginning, intermediate, and advanced German are complemented by courses on film, literature, and culture. Choose German as a major, a minor, or as part of an interdepartmental major connecting German with business or political science. Fluency in German can also enhance your study of international affairs, philosophy, history, music, and the natural sciences.
German majors have gone on to pursuits across the humanities and sciences that connect language, culture, and education, with placements both domestically and internationally.
