In this time of global
communication and exchanges, the study of other languages, literatures, and
cultures offers exciting opportunities to all students. German is an
excellent choice for beginning or continuing the journey into transnational
experience, as it opens the doors to rich traditions across the disciplines.
For example:
-
In the
European Union, German has the largest number of native speakers; thus it
is a major language of commerce with our partners in Europe
-
In
literature, there are such authors as Goethe, Kafka, Thomas Mann, and Hermann Hesse
-
In
music, German is the language of Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn, Schubert, and
Weill
-
In philosophy,
Kant, Hegel, Marx, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche
-
In history, art history, archaeology, the social sciences such as
psychology, and the sciences, German has long been one of the main
academic languages due to its foundational research in many of these
fields
Trinity’s German program
offers both immersion in the German language and a full range of experience
with the literature and culture.
