Overview

The research interests of the faculty allow for a special emphasis on comparative literary studies. The series of courses in the German program at Johns Hopkins University regularly offered provides a well-balanced program of German literary history and critical theory. Because of strong interdisciplinary cooperation at Johns Hopkins, students enjoy the ability to work with faculty in other departments.

Recent graduates of the PhD program in German have received appointments at Cornell, Harvard, McGill, New York University, University of California at Santa Barbara, University of Colorado, University of North Carolina, and Yale.

Teaching

Teacher training and practice teaching are an essential part of the graduate program. Graduate students in German teach three of their five years in the program. (The first and fourth years are generally reserved for coursework and the dissertation.) To acquaint students with the methods and principles of foreign language instruction, the section offers a German Foreign Language Teaching Practicum (I and II).

Exchange Programs

Graduate students in the department are expected to study and conduct research abroad while in the program. Generally, study abroad occurs after three years of coursework in Baltimore. Fellowship funding continues while the student is abroad. Exchange programs with the Free University Berlin and the Humboldt University in Berlin offer the opportunity for graduate students to study in Germany. In addition, the German program offers numerous summer fellowships for students to conduct research abroad. These include the Humboldt Fellowship, the Dahlem Humanities Fellowship, the Kaye Dissertation Stipend, the William H. McClain Dissertation Fellowship, and the Max Kade Travel Grants.
