Bachelor Degree in German

Build a foundation for German fluency, and read German-language literature and theory with a German major at Reed College. Study authors who have left their mark on virtually every field of the humanities and social sciences, and enjoy learning in a language lab and in conversation sessions with a language scholar who is a native speaker.

Delve into the German language and study abroad as a student in the German department at Reed. As an upper-division student, concentrate in either literature or culture studies, and take a critical look at Germany’s cultural and historical influence. Complete your studies with a senior thesis that examines a particular author or period (literature) or a German intellectual tradition through the methodological perspectives of a variety of fields (culture).
