Overview

Bilingual ability and cross-cultural understanding are valued assets in all fields. Employers large and small regularly seek out German-speaking employees. Double majoring or minoring in German and another discipline will make you particularly attractive to employers.

For example, if you combine the German Studies - Communication & Culture program of Kutztown University with marketing or journalism you’ll be a preferred candidate for positions in, radio and television, advertising and public relations. Likewise, you’ll have nearly unlimited career opportunities by combining German with a major or minor in any science, business, education, geography, sociology, or political science.

Minor

German Communication and Culture and Pennsylvania German Studies are related minors. Students from other areas of study can fulfill this minor by completing 18 semester hours in courses such as Intermediate German, German Composition and Conversation, or Introduction to PA German Studies, and Introduction to Pennsylvania German Language.

Careers

A Modern Language major is ideal for students who wish to pursue entrance into graduate programs and/or careers in a variety of settings including business, banking, social services, government and international organizations. Employers recommend one or more internships to be successful and competitive when entering this field. Building a strong resume for your career field starts long before you ever start your job search.
