MA German Literature

The research interests of the Department of German Literature lie in the culture, society, literature, and art of German-speaking countries, from medieval to modern times. We utilize linguistic theory, literary theory, cultural and social theory, and textual theory to derive new academic findings. Students at the master's and doctoral level discuss a range of topics in specialized seminars that include text readings, linguistics, medieval cultural studies, media studies, and theater studies in order to acquire the skills required to perform sophisticated, complex research tasks.
