German is the language of five countries: Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and Liechtenstein. A "sister language" to English, it has the largest number of native speakers in the European Union (EU) and is the second-most spoken language in all of Europe. Germany, one of the major industrialized nations, is referred to as the economic and technological powerhouse of the European Union. Reunified in 1990 after 45 years of division, it ranks as the third-largest trading partner of the USA. The German Minor will complement any major, from the Humanities and the Sciences to Engineering and Business. You can also create an Interdisciplinary Studies Major with German as one area of two or three concentrations.
