German and German studies courses at Websters are taught by passionate instructors, many of whom are native German speakers, in small classroom environments that encourage discussion. Students have the opportunity to participate in multiple German-speaking activities on campus and within the community.

Upon completion of the program, students will be able to:

• Recognize and appraise the complexities of a culture or cultures different from their own.
• Identify multiple cultural perspectives based on original texts and cultural materials.
• Critically analyze their own culture and its place in the world.
• Question cultural stereotypes.
• Demonstrate successful and sensitive communication, both orally and in writing, with people from another culture through an understanding of their language and culture.
• Relate their personality, values, and complex thoughts in a language other than their native one.
