Allegheny College offers a major and minor in German and instruction in the German language through the department of Modern and Classical Languages. For Allegheny’s Learning Outcomes for the study of modern languages, including German, please see the “Modern and Classical Languages ” section in this Bulletin.

Study Abroad

Students who have completed GERMN 120  and would like to pursue their study of German are encouraged to participate in the Allegheny in Cologne semester program. The program offers courses in German language, culture and literature, as well as courses in other areas such as art history, political science, history and German literature in translation. Students in their junior year who have taken two years of college German or the equivalent may participate in the Cologne Exchange Program. Students study directly at the University of Cologne and may choose from a wide variety of academic courses. Coursework taken abroad may be applicable to the German major or minor; please consult the department for more information.

International Economics and Business

Those students wishing to pursue a career in language with a focus on international economics or business should combine their study of a particular country and language with a background in economics. If students are majoring in German and minoring in economics, they should take GERMN 305 , GERMN 310 , GERMN 325 , and GERMN 360  as part of their requirements. Students may also select a double major in these two disciplines. In addition, students are encouraged to study abroad and to complete an internship either abroad or with a company engaged in international trade. For economics courses that complement a German major or minor, see the course of study described under International Managerial Economics in the “Economics ” section of this Bulletin.
