German Studies (BA)
Cornell University · Ithaca, United States
About this programme
Majors pursue individual interests in courses addressing literature and philosophy, culture and society, aesthetics and media, as well as critical and political thought. The course work emphasizes close analysis of texts and artifacts guided by thoughtful reflection on the concepts contributing to thorough inquiry. Seminar-style classes develop skills in critical thinking and the articulation of cogent, rhetorically effective arguments in oral and written communication. Majors also have the opportunity to study abroad with the Berlin Consortium for German Studies. The department encourages double majors and makes every effort to accommodate prospective majors with a late start in German. Students interested in the major should consult with the director of undergraduate studies, Gunhild Lischke ( gl15@cornell.edu , G75 Goldwin Smith Hall, 607-255-0725).
