German Language and Society Concentration

Coordinator:
David J. Limburg, Foreign Languages Department

This concentration provides access to German culture as well as insights into our own culture. The program focuses on language-learning as a living, functioning, and fun activity, and combines the development of language skills with the discovery of new ways to see and think about different cultures. It fosters international understanding and provides knowledge and skills that are becoming increasingly essential in our evolving global society.

The concentration in German Language and Society is not available to German majors.
