Students choosing the Commercial German concentration are interested in complementing their advanced intercultural language study with a foundation in international business skills. The bridge courses in the concentration (GER 320 and MGT 300) integrate students knowledge across disciplines, and the two additional electives in the concentration (chosen from the list of MGT courses below) allow them to further explore their area of interest in business management. After declaring the German major with the Commercial concentration, students should meet with the German Program Director, who will work together with advisors in the College of Business to ensure that students are maximizing opportunities to double count their chosen concentration courses (when possible) in order to efficiently achieve their postgraduate career goals. We encourage our students to participate in the study abroad options associated with the German program: a long-term study abroad program to Vienna in the Fall quarter or for an academic year, and a short-term, human rights-oriented service-learning program to Berlin and Vienna, which focuses on history, memory, and the current refugee situation in Germany and Austria. Both of these programs are affordable and can be financed through scholarships offered by DePaul's Study Abroad Office and the Department of Modern Languages.
