The minor in Business German focuses on building the linguistic and cultural literacy necessary for success in the German business environment. Courses in the minor like “Arbeitskulturen: Trends in the German-Speaking World,” explore the various distinct types, genres, and contexts of communication that define German culture and business. Coursework from other Germanic Studies majors and minors, such as “The Cultural History and Politics of Postwar Germany” will also help students develop a nuanced understanding of German culture and history. The program also features an embedded internship component, offering students first-hand experience in German business cultures.
Students in other fields of study may complete a minor in Business German.
