German MIN

The minor in German serves students who seek proficiency in the language and an understanding of the cultures in German-speaking countries. Our focus on real-world communication skills as well as inter/cultural competence promotes self-awareness and respect for others. We are fully committed to the principles of diversity and inclusion. Our instructors create a student-centered, immersion-based learning environment that encourages open exchange of ideas and a deep understanding of events, institutions, and traditions. In addition to applied learning in the classroom, we offer learning opportunities in the community through internships and service-learning. Short- and long-term study abroad opportunities in German-speaking countries exists at SCSU. Our program can meaningfully be combined with other areas of study and professional fields.
