UMass Amherst German and Scandinavian Studies

Our undergraduate program is structured to set the study of the Germanic languages and their literatures within the contexts of their respective cultures, including their historical, economic, political, philosophical, and cultural aspects. Strong interdisciplinary ties with other departments are encouraged, including STEM fields.

iSTEP combines students' interests in German and STEM fields. With iSTEP students can take STEM-German language courses and participate in international education opportunities.

In addition to offering a diverse range of graduate seminars, the German Studies graduate program provides training in language pedagogy, research support, and opportunities for professional development.
