Overview

We are committed to preparing PhD and MA students for the highest levels of scholarship in research and teaching and for a range of career paths in academia and other professional contexts.

Drawing on the broad range of expertise of the faculty at Georgetown University, the graduate program in German provides an excellent foundation of German literature and culture from the 18th century to the present and fosters critical and interdisciplinary approaches to more specialized areas of inquiry, including: contemporary literature and culture, issues of gender and sexuality, intersections of religious and literary traditions, curriculum development, and literacy studies.

The Program

All students, irrespective of their area of concentration, receive extensive preparation for teaching and are involved in various aspects of curriculum development and assessment. We consider these aspects to be part of the intellectual core of graduate education. Our alumni survey confirms that students benefit greatly from participation in these collaborative projects that bring together faculty and graduate students. Students who plan to pursue research in Second Language Acquisition (SLA) also benefit from the SLA concentration across several departments at Georgetown.
