German & Scandinavian Studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst is proud of our long tradition as a distinguished center of research and teaching at the graduate (M.A. and Ph.D.) and undergraduate levels.

The twenty Amherst Colloquia, held here from 1967 to 1999, and published as a book series, give a sense of our historic strengths in German literary and cultural studies.

In recent years, feminist studies, film studies, and Black German studies have become central aspects of our program as we have retained our historic and linguistic depth in medieval studies and Germanic philology. We are home to the DEFA Film Library, an archive and study center. Our program also presents Scandinavian Impulses, a series of lectures, films, and other events, and has previously offered Danish, Dutch, and Finnish.

Yiddish is taught at UMass Amherst and the outstanding resources of the Five Colleges area include the National Yiddish Book Center. Recent additions to our faculty have solidified our close ties with History and with Judaic and Near East Studies; we expect our interdisciplinary affiliations to expand even further in the years to come.

Our graduates include many prominent scholars and teachers worldwide (click here for a list of recent placements and here for recent dissertations).
