Overview

The German Studies program at Brown University requires a secondary field of study consisting of a coherent sequence of four courses outside the Department.

Features

With guidance from the Director of Graduate Studies, each student plans this sequence in a specialized interest. Some examples of possible specialized programs of study are Media Studies, History, Jewish Studies, Visual Arts, Philosophy, Music or Theater. Drawing on the expertise of eminent scholars in these fields at Brown, the program thus fosters an interdisciplinary approach to the field of German Studies.
