Program Learning Outcomes

2. Explain various facets of contemporary German-speaking cultures in German.
3. Analyze aspects of the linguistic, ethnic, racial, religious, cultural and social diversity within German-speaking countries and communities in German.
4. Explain the historical and political context of German-speaking cultures.
