German

Germany is the most populous and arguably most influential member state of the European Union and serves as a gateway to eastern Europe and the countries of the former Soviet Union. A leading economic power in Europe for years, Germany will continue to play a significant role in the business, economics, and politics of Europe and the world. Germany and Austria are also of interest to historians, philosophers, and musicians because of their major influence on culture and political events throughout history.

The study of the German language will be beneficial to students of political science, economics, communications, science and technology, international studies, and international business.These factors will also bring about a need for teachers of German at both the secondary and university levels.
