UMD’s BA in Germanic Studies immerses students in the language, literature, and cultural history of German-speaking countries. Students develop fluency in German and explore topics such as post-war literature, cinema, philosophy, and contemporary politics. Study abroad opportunities in Germany and Austria enhance language immersion. The program supports careers in international business, diplomacy, cultural exchange, translation, and education, and encourages interdisciplinary study across European history and philosophy.
