Dynamic courses, an expert faculty, personalized attention to students, and numerous opportunities to study abroad make German Studies at the University of Delaware a rewarding experience.
Our German faculty is a dedicated group of teachers, each with many years of professional experience. We get to know our students and are readily available to mentor them. Students receive guidance in choosing courses, help finding scholarships and study abroad programs, as well as support when they pursue careers or further study.
We offer study abroad programs in two beautiful, historic cities: Salzburg, Austria and Leipzig, Germany. As an enhancement to course work, these programs include many excursions to cultural sites. Need- and merit-based scholarships are available for both programs.
Additionally, our students may compete for scholarships that cover expenses for two other study abroad opportunities: a four-week summer program in Fulda, Germany and grant for a full year of study at a German university (see below).
Many of our German majors and minors have won prestigious national/international grants and prizes. We sponsor an active German Club with many members. Its events enable students to practice their German and learn more about German culture. We sponsor a chapter of the German Honor Society, Delta Phi Alpha, with a festive event each year to recognize student success.
