Bachelor of Arts in German - German Studies​

DePaul University

Students who choose the German Studies concentration will have tremendous flexibility in building their own cluster of courses to align with a particular facet of German, based on their academic interests or intended career path. In the case of double majors, the German Studies concentration allows students to meaningfully align their two programs of study so that one complements the other, with the concentration courses potentially double-counting between both majors. Students with German as a secondary major may also be able to double-count their Studies concentration courses with courses taken for the learning domains. After declaring the German major with the Studies concentration, students should meet with the German Program Director to discuss ideas and options for crafting a tailor-made German Studies concentration that best fits their college and post-graduate goals. We encourage our students to participate in the study abroad options associated with the German program: a long-term study abroad program to Vienna in the Fall quarter or for an academic year, and a short-term, human rights-oriented service-learning program to Berlin and Vienna, which focuses on history, memory, and the current refugee situation in Germany and Austria. Both of these programs are affordable and can be financed through scholarships offered by DePaul’s Study Abroad Office and the Department of Modern Languages.
