The German Studies major offers an interdisciplinary approach to German language, literature, and culture, including such areas as film, art, music, history, philosophy, and critical theory. Many students successfully combine their German major with a second major or concentration in another field, and indeed the various tracks within the German major are designed to create space for students to explore connections between their studies in German and other majors, minors, and concentrations.  Most majors participate in Macalester\u2019s 6-month study abroad program in Berlin and Vienna, usually in their junior year, where they take courses at the Humboldt Universit\u00e4t in Berlin and the University of Vienna and frequently complete an internship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
