Overview

You’ll become equipped with crucial skills in reading, writing, critical thinking, and intercultural communication—providing you with career opportunities around the world.

You’re encouraged to participate in DePaul’s Study Abroad program with two options: a long-term program in Vienna, and a short-term, human rights-oriented program in Berlin. Through these experiences you’ll grow linguistically and expand your cultural understanding of German-speaking societies.

Our German program also has its own chapter of the German Honorary Society Delta Phi Alpha, and is affiliated with the student-led DePaul Deutsch Club. Several students have been awarded prestigious grants and scholarships, including multiple Fulbright grants and Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange scholarships.
