Davis Language Center (DLC) The DLC facilitates technology-based language learning and researching. The DLC is more than a language laboratory. It also offers workshops, conducts language placement exams, and supports students and faculty in both teaching and learning.
Upper Division Program
In their upper division courses, students explore a wide range of topics to develop a broad understanding of German language, literature, and culture. With their adviser's assistance, students can tailor their major to fit their needs, and they often combine their German major with another major in the humanities or social sciences.
