Welcome to the German section homepage! All students are welcome to enroll in German classes. There are many possibilities to learn about the German-speaking countries. You can begin learning German now or build on your high school courses. There are also courses in English for students with little or no background in the German language.

The German Program offers the German Major and German Minor. The German Major is the traditional literature and culture major. German minors must complete 6 courses in German. The German Studies Major is an interdisciplinary major offered through CISS (Center for Interdisciplinary and Special Studies). Please click on the links for specific requirements.

German students have many opportunities to participate in program activities. The annual German Christmas party is a Holy Cross tradition. The German Club organizes an annual Oktoberfest dinner as well as trips to Boston to see German plays.

Sophomores who will complete Intermediate German II (or higher) should apply to study abroad in Berlin and Freiburg during their junior year. These programs have been highly rated by our returning HC students. Please click on the link for specific requirements.

Outstanding German students are awarded book prizes and certificates of merit. Advanced students are encouraged to apply for admission to Delta Phi Alpha, the German Honor Society. Seniors with excellent records have several opportunities for scholarships to study or work in Germany and Austria.
