The
study of German will expose you to a rich and complex culture that has
contributed enormously to the history of our world. United Germany is -
together with France - in the center of the European Union.
German is not only the language of the most populous nation in
Europe, but also increasingly the language of commerce in Eastern
Europe. Globalization has brougth the US and the economic
super-power Europe closer together. In fact, the US invests more
in Germany than in China. Hundreds of German companies do business in
the US: SAP, T-Mobile,
Mercedes, Volkswagen, BMW, Audi, Porsche,
and Bosch;
and even more US companies do business in Germany. Atlanta has
historically been the gateway to the South and increasingly to European
companies. German
improves your options on the job market. 40% of US scientists recommend
learing German.
At Agnes Scott
the German program has been thriving for more than half a century.
German has an established major, double major and minor program. German
has also been a vital part of the Language Across Curriculum due to the
interdisciplinary interests of both the German faculty as well as
members of other academic departments. The program has been a
participant in the Global
Connections program with
an offering on the study of the Holocaust in Europe. The German
program has a high success rate of sending students on study
abroad. Fellowships and
internships are available if you want to go to Germany, Austria, or
Switzerland. German majors have been offered Fulbright, DAAD
and
Rotary scholarships.
Great
people speak or have spoken German! We would like to encourage you to
study the language of Heidi Klum, Freud, Mozart, Bach, Marlene
Dietrich, the Grimm brothers, Martin Luther, Goethe, Kant, Marx, Kafka,
Brecht, Hesse, Mann, Heidegger, Grass etc. at Agnes Scott College.
