Recent German studies graduates began careers in education, engineering and the financial sector, and some received prestigious fellowships to study and work in Germany.
Go beyond the classroom to deepen your knowledge of German language and culture by studying abroad. Students may choose from Bucknell-approved programs in Heidelberg and Hamburg.

Whether you intend to continue a language you studied in high school or wish to explore a new one, an online placement test is required to enroll in language courses. Your exam score and academic record will inform the final placement decision. We recommend that all students with past language experience take the placement test as early as possible. First-year students will be automatically directed to the exam during course registration. Sophomores, juniors and seniors should contact the academic department prior to course registration.

The German Club promotes the study of German culture and language at Bucknell and is run by students, for students. Throughout the year we sponsor films, speakers, discussions, study breaks and trips. In the past, we have visited the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C., taken a trip to the Amish country in Lancaster County, and shared our experiences with other students who are interested in traveling abroad. We also have a German-speaking lunch table once a week with the teaching assistant from the University of Heidelberg. We regularly meet as a group and discuss a wide variety of topics related to German culture. Anybody is welcome!
