Drew?s German Studies program offers instruction of the highest quality, emphasizes innovative learning and integrates language, literature and culture. Drew?s proximity to New York City is important because it represents one of the largest concentrations of German culture outside of Europe, and there are regular excursions to Manhattan to experience opera, classical music, art exhibitions and restaurants. On campus, the German Studies program organizes and sponsors speakers, films and concerts. Drew has a chapter of the national German honor society, Delta Phi Alpha. We strongly encourage study abroad and offer opportunities in German-speaking countries.

Competency in foreign languages and cultures is increasingly important for numerous professions and for graduate study. Not only is German a key language for science, culture, and art, but Germany also has one of the three largest economies in the world.
