Course Overview

Gain a working knowledge of German language and culture and launch yourself into the top 5 percent of U.S. college graduates. Whether you start a career as a teacher, professional in international business, government, or are planning to go to graduate school, you'll find that German is a vital world language. 

After all, Germany is the financial heart of the European Union, the world's largest trading block, not to mention the second largest exporter. So take hold of the opportunities our experienced faculty can connect you with. You'll have the chance for internships or student teaching and even employment by German firms in the South and abroad. 

Take advantage of our study abroad program in the heart of Europe — Vienna, Austria. And grow in the Spirit with a special Bible course where you'll visit the Amish and also learn about the German Christian resistance in World War II.  You'll interact with important figures in German life, from business and politics to the music industry, international relations and education. The global learning experience you receive here will provide you the confidence you need as a K-12 teacher or a business professional.
