The German BA at Northwestern blends immersive language learning with critical study of German-speaking cultures, philosophy, film, and social movements. From Kafka’s existential prose to techno subcultures in reunified Berlin, students interrogate how language and art shape identity, memory, and politics. Small seminar sizes promote conversational fluency, while exchange programs in Freiburg and Vienna provide real-world linguistic immersion. Collaborations with Northwestern’s engineering and business schools explore Germany’s leadership in sustainability and industrial design. Graduates enter careers in international consulting, cultural diplomacy, renewable-energy firms, and academia.
