Overview

They believe that in encountering different cultures, languages, and ways of seeing, you will learn to examine your own entrenched beliefs about yourself, your communities, and your place in the world.

Key Features

Studying literature and other cultural materials in a language other than your own teaches you to be flexible and open to different viewpoints, provides you with a deeper and more nuanced understanding of historical and contemporary events, and allows you to gain clarity with respect to your own views and experiences. The faculty devote individual attention to students both in and outside the classroom.

They offer a major and minor in German through the Department of World Languages and Literatures. The classes are small, focused, and taught by expert faculty.

Topics range from German composition and conversation, to major periods in German literature, to examinations of German society during various historical periods.

Many of the German Studies students from Lewis and Clark College earn course credit on overseas programs. In addition to general cultural programs that are open to all students (including one in Berlin with an optional chemistry focus), the yearlong language-intensive overseas program in Munich is renowned for its high-quality academic offerings, direct access to German university programs, and outstanding internship and research opportunities. This program is required for all German majors.
