German at USD encourages students to consider the profound effects of German-speaking thinkers, scientists and artists on the modern world, and also provides a lens through which the particular contours of the present and past can be evaluated.
Knowledge of the German language and an understanding of the cultures of the countries where German is spoken provide a valuable preparation for many careers and graduate programs. German is a primary language of scholarship and international communication in a diverse range of academic and scientific fields, including industry and commerce.
