German Studies
Bachelor of Arts
Learning German can connect you to 120 million native speakers
worldwide. It is also a popular second (and third or fourth)
language throughout Europe, as well as in Japan and the U.S.
Germany, with the third strongest economy in the world, is an
important global business partner in publishing, research and
development, innovative uses of the Internet, automobile design
and manufacturing, etc. Germany has a rich cultural heritage;
it is rewarding to be able to understand such thinkers, poets,
musicians and scientists as Einstein, Bach, Schweitzer, Marx, Kafka
and Freud in their native language. Many graduate programs
recommend developing at least a reading knowledge of German
to access significant theoretical works and research in books and
professional journals. A number of interesting opportunities to
study in Germany or Austria are available to students at Lake Erie
College. The courses in the major and minor help to develop
not only communication skills, but a strong foundation in the
cultures—present and past—that have used German as their
everyday language. Students may want to consider a primary
or secondary major—or a minor—in German to enhance their
employment opportunities, or to increase their chances of being
accepted into fine graduate programs.
