Gain a solid understanding of one of the world's most widely-spoken languages and its influences on modern thinking. Combine German studies with other programs, such as Environment, Sustainability, and Society (ESS) or Political Science—and find out how the writings of Freud, Nietzsche, Marx, Hegel, Goethe, and Schiller are still relevant to today’s complex social problems.


Courses in Dal's department of German focus on three areas: language acquisition, literature, and philsophy or thought. But you'll learn more than grammar in a German language course. In fact, many profs incorporate literature and philosophy as language teaching tools, especially in upper-year courses.


Some German courses are in English, so you'll still have opportunties to explore German literature and thought even if you can't speak German.


The study abroad program encourages you experience German culture firsthand for up to a year—while earning credits toward your BA at Dal.


Sample courses:

  • German for Beginners
  • Advanced Translation
  • German Folk and Fairy Tales


Whether or not you decide to major in German, you can apply for a Certificate of Proficiency. This official recognition of your skills is definitely something that will enhance your resume.
