BA German

German at Yale is a rigorous and engaging program that emphasizes the combined study of language, literature, critical theory, and the history of thought. Both within the U.S. and abroad, our faculty has an established reputation for scholarly excellence. We are also very focused on undergraduate teaching. Comfortably sized seminars and language sections allow students to work closely with faculty and graduate student instructors. During their studies students are exposed to diverse historical contexts and numerous literary and cultural inheritances, from Germany, but also from Austria and Switzerland, as well as other non-national frontiers and exiles.
