German Studies
Welcome to the web pages of the German Studies Section. The German Studies Section of MLL at W&M offers German language, literature, philosophy, and cultural studies at the beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels, as well as several courses in German Studies taught in English translation, often cross-listed with Philosophy, Literary and Cultural Studies, and Film Studies.
The German Studies curriculum, completely revised in 2003-2004, is designed to help students formulate research questions and to engage in independent scholarly work at an advanced level. Faculty closely mentor students on research projects and provide opportunities for actual research in the field. The program's scholarship closely reflects the kind of research in German Studies currently conducted nationally and internationally in the discipline.
We strongly encourage our students to study in a German-speaking country. In the Study Abroad section of our website, you will find links to information about our summer and junior-year programs in Potsdam and Münster, Germany.
Please contact German Studies section head Professor Rob Leventhal for more information on the German Studies concentration, a minor in German, study abroad opportunities, and more specific questions regarding German Studies at The College of William and Mary.Rob Leventhal receives PBK Award
