In addition to being part of a dynamic on-campus program, as a graduate student in German Studies at UNM you have the unique opportunity of earning graduate credit and teaching lower-divison classes at the German Summer School, an intensive 4 ½-week immersion program conducted yearly in the mountains above Taos, NM. At the German Summer School, students also have the option of earning an M.A. in four to five summer sessions, or in two to three summer sessions in combination with course work completed on the main campus. For more information please see or contact schule@unm.edu). The German Studies program is also closely affiliated with the program in Comparative Literature and Cultural Studies (CL/CS) that is part of the FLL department; this gives you access to CL/CS classes taught in English by FLL faculty members across a wide range of disciplines (French, Classics, Russian, and others) that relate to your interests. We also support and encourage interdisciplinary work outside the department (in fields such as Media Arts, Philosophy, Art History, History, and others) that will facilitate your pursuit of a particular research or thesis project.
