German Minor

Modern & Classical Languages

Welcome to the German Section of UW’s Department of Modern & Classical Languages. As a department of foreign languages, literatures, and cultural studies, we prepare our students for life and careers in an increasingly global world. Our program in German enables students to combine their language training with interdisciplinary study of the regions where their language is spoken.

 

To include a language option in the humanities/fine arts interdisciplinary program, students must complete at least 12 hours above the 2030 level.
