What can I do after graduation if I study German?
Students from the department are employed in a variety of fields. Many have a second major, and their field of employment is a combination of both majors. For example, an economics student can work for one of the many multinational corporations in the area such as Siemens or Bosch. Biology students may work for one of the many biotech firms or agricultural firms in the area that are interested in expanding abroad. Language majors are valued for their bilingual skills and their ability to do a close reading of texts as well as other visual media. Many larger firms hire humanities students to do market research, cross-cultural training or write documents needed in the firm. There are also many non-profits in the US and abroad that are involved in cultural or business exchange that value close reading skills and familiarity with another culture.
