MA in Germanic Studies

USA

What will I learn?

The Department of Germanic Studies offers the Master of Arts degree in Germanic Studies and the Doctor of Philosophy degree in Germanic Studies. In both degree programs students are encouraged to engage in interdisciplinary and some interdepartmental work. The graduate program of the Department includes course work, teaching opportunities, and professional activities such as symposia, conferences, lecture series, workshops, film series, graduate student symposia, outreach activities and formal social events. Since participation in all of these activities is crucial for the academic and professional success of our graduate students, attendance at these events is expected.
