Germanic studies

What do Friedrich Nietzsche, the Brothers Grimm and Nosferatu all have in common? They all have Germanic roots. Germanic studies let you build language proficiency, explore new cultures and worldviews and even study or work in a German-speaking country.

You’ll explore topics like:

  • German language
  • Germanic cultural studies
  • Holocaust education and memorialization
  • Multimedia and film studies
  • Folklore and literature, and much more

Whether you want to become a program student or just take a course as an elective, you’ll find that courses in Germanic studies provide you with life-long learning skills that give you a competitive edge.

We are committed to offering students a high quality academic experience with options for staying on track, graduating on time, and meeting their learning goals. With these factors in mind, we’ll be offering our programs and course options for the Fall academic term.
