German is an important language for the sciences as evidenced by the work of Einstein and Planck.
The study of German as a foreign language is therefore highly beneficial to students majoring in the humanities, especially art history, music, and philosophy; mathematics and the natural sciences; and the social sciences, especially history, international relations, and psychology.
A major in German thus spans a wide spectrum of courses in the language, the literature, and the culture of the German speaking countries of Europe.
