Man gibt seine Kinder auf die Schule, daß sie still werden, auf die Hochschule, daß sie laut werden.

Welcome to Berkeley's Department of German. We offer a comprehensive language program, a strong undergraduate curriculum (with a minor, major and double major in German), and distinguished doctoral degrees in German literature and culture as well as in Germanic linguistics. We also teach courses in Dutch and Yiddish. The department has long been recognized as one of the most innovative in the country. We have pioneered and promoted interdisciplinary German Studies since the 1970s, and our graduate program is proud of its many distinguishing features. In their most recent survey, the National Research Council has ranked us the No. 1 German Department in the United States.
