GERMAN

Why Study German?

Studying German at UCO provides undergraduate students insight into some of the oldest and richest cultural traditions in Europe. It also gives students a firm grasp on the leading European economies. Spoken in the Federal Republic of Germany, Austria and Switzerland, German is the most frequently used language in business and tourism after English. With the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, German has also become the most important foreign language in Eastern Europe.

The curriculum in German is designed to provide students with a wide range of courses that will prepare students for careers in a variety of fields. Students have the opportunity to develop their speaking, reading, writing and listening skills in German in a series of language, culture, literature and film courses. The University of Central Oklahoma German majors have pursued careers in international business and politics, literature, journalism, art, education, law, history, medicine, the sciences, music and film.
