Our faculty is nationally ranked for its research productivity, and recognized for its teaching record and intellectual contributions to the field. Through a wide range of courses, we provide our undergraduates with an excellent background in German culture, literature, and language to educate them to live and work in an increasingly global world. Graduate students engage in advanced study in German, preparing them for a variety of professions, including teaching, translation, and foreign service. Through our High School Day and other public events, our department acts as a resource for German culture in the greater Chicago area. We are grateful to earn significant donor support for our students and programs.
