WHY STUDY GERMAN?

There are many reasons why learning a foreign language and in particular German is a great idea. Here are three important ones:

Learning a Foreign Language Makes You Smarter

The benefits of learning a foreign language go beyond the ability to order local food, to ask for directions when travelling abroad, to learn about other countries and cultures, or to add a skill to a CV. New research has shown that learning a foreign language will stimulate your brain in a way other subjects can't by enhancing important cognitive processes.

Learning German Is a Good Investment of Your Time

As reported in the article What is a foreign language worth?, the average lifetime earnings bonus for an American student in college who learns German is actually $128,000.

You Get to Know a Rich Culture

German has an enormously rich cultural heritage: a large percentage of the world's most impressive achievements were first conceived of in the German language.

Students majoring in German take 14 courses in the department or abroad (you may count up to 8 courses from a year abroad towards your German major and 4 courses from a semester abroad).
