专业概况

The German Studies program covers cultural, literary, language, and historical topics relevant to the German-speaking world. Study abroad opportunities exist as well as internships and research opportunities as you prepare for an international career or graduate studies.

The German Studies Department at Emory University is a team of teacher-scholars that has as its threefold mission (a) the interdisciplinary research of cultural phenomena in the German- and Yiddish-speaking worlds, (b) the development of students’ foreign cultural literacy through an articulated undergraduate curriculum, and (c) the fostering of connections between the department and other disciplines both at Emory University and beyond.

To carry out this mission, the German Studies faculty maintains an active research agenda into German and Yiddish culture and constantly looks to involve that research in its courses. The courses offered range from beginning German for those with no prior background in the language to advanced courses on cultural, literary, and historical topics relevant to the German-speaking world. In addition, the department offers courses on Yiddish language and culture as well as courses in English on German film, literature, and culture. Central to all of the department's course offerings is a conscious effort to move beyond the boundaries of a strictly national literature department and to explore phenomena that transcend political borders (e.g., German-Jewish cultures, the cultural diversity of the former Austrian Empire). All of the departmental courses are part of a recently revised curriculum that has abolished the bifurcation between so-called "language" courses at the lower level of instruction and so-called 'content' courses at the upper level. Long the norm in foreign language departments throughout the United States, this counter-productive division is ill-suited to maximize the limited contact hours that mark the undergraduate language learning experience. In contrast, a well-designed four-year curriculum that links the study of language with content at all levels of instruction is able to establish a clear trajectory for achieving advanced in the language in spite of the short amount of time available. Moreover, with a much stronger content orientation in the lower levels, students can already in their very first semester begin examining themes, texts, and discourses that (re)signify German-speaking cultures. In a divided curriculum that kind of inquiry does not really began in earnest until the third year of instruction. Please consult the online Emory College Course Catalogue for a complete overview of the department's course offerings and the Online Course Atlas for the courses currently being offered. For those who have studied German before coming to Emory the department offers an online placement test.

The department offers both a major and minor in German Studies, and many students combine their study of German with another discipline. For instance, in the past few years German majors and minors have also majored or minored in Biology, Physics, Philosophy, Political Science, Business, History, Sociology, and Italian and then used that combination to gone on to pursue careers in medicine, education, law, business, and non-profit work. In addition to their course work in the department, majors and minors are encouraged to take electives with affiliated faculty that deal with topics relevant to the German
