M.A. in German StudiesThe German Program offers an interdisciplinary M.A. in German Studies that allows students to design a program of study according to their research and professional interests. While our courses emphasize the German literary and philosophical tradition, we also require students to conduct interdisciplinary work. Recent graduate students have worked with faculty members in the Departments of History and Linguistics, as well as in the School of Education and the School of Business. We maintain close ties with Political Science, Comparative Literature, and Film Studies, and we are one of the few German programs in the country to offer a joint M.A. and M.B.A. Our students go on to Ph.D. programs or to pursue a wide range of careers, from teaching to international marketing and information technology.

Qualified applicants are eligible for a graduate teaching assistantship, and exceptional applicants with an interest in a career in education can quality for two prestigious Max Kade Fellowships. Students also have the opportunity to spend a year abroad at the University of Göttingen or the University of Regensburg. Our department participates in the Western Regional Graduate Program (WRGP), which allows residents of several Western states to enroll in our programs at resident tuition rates, regardless of the student's financial need. Participating states are: Alaska, Arizona, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. An ideal setting for graduate study, the University of Colorado at Boulder is one of the most beautiful campuses in the country. Boulder is a vibrant city with active art, music, and literature scenes, and it offers a wide range of entertainment and outdoors activities. Downtown Denver is only twenty-five miles away.
