German at Butler
German is offered at all levels within the
Department of Modern Languages, Literatures & Cultures. Courses
ranging from beginning German to literature, culture and society
and even Business German and Service Learning will help you to
improve your language skills while challenging you to interact with
a wide range of German Studies topics during your academic career
at Butler.
Our small class sizes (usually 10-15) ensure that you will have
easy access to and individual communication with professors. But
don't think that German at Butler is a sleepy little group! With
three instructors and about 100 students a semester, you will not
be alone in pursuing your interest in German. We also have a weekly
"Stammtisch", an active German Klub many German film showings
throughout the semester, and encourage students both through
curricular and extracurricular activities to get involved in the
Indianapolis German community.
If you decide for a major in German or maybe are just thinking
about a minor right now, know that many students spend at least one
semester at one of our many partner institutions for study abroad.
Butler German students have recently studied at universities in
Tübingen, Heidelberg, Marburg, Dortmund and Berlin and have taken
part in internship programs in Cologne.
Many Butler German students chose to add a second major to their
studies, and our Advanced Placement Credit program strongly
encourages you to look into this possibility. At Butler you might
double-major in Music, History, International Studies, Business,
Education, Biology, Chemistry, Pharmacy and many more!
