Students take language classes in a dynamic, student-centered environment that highlights language acquisition as well as cultural sensitivity for the heritage of the German-speaking nations. Beginning students acquire the ability to speak, understand, read, and write in German with reasonable fluency. Students should have a good background in English grammar and syntax. While knowledge of German is welcome, it is not required. More information is available on the Department of World Languages and Cultures webpage.
Students have the opportunity to study abroad with the CSU International Programs in Germany. Students are encouraged to officially plan an academic residency abroad when possible. The cost of the residency abroad varies according to the program and world region. Students should understand the costs involved and plan ahead. Consult with the Cal Poly Humboldt Center for International Programs.
