German Minor
Did you know that German is the most widely spoken language in Europe and one of the most spoken in the world, with native speakers on every continent? It’s true! Germany is a leader in scientific research and one of the world’s largest economic markets, which makes German one of the most important languages for science and trade. Rich in cultural history and tradition, it is easy to see why Germany is a popular location for research, internships and study abroad. As the language of inventors, innovators and global market leaders as well as philosophers, artists and literary greats, German opens a number of doors for those who study it.
