Special Features
Earlham's on-campus and international study programs give you first-hand experiences with German language, culture and world views. Students studying German Language and Literature supplement and expand their studies by participating in these on-campus opportunities:
- Students may collaborate with faculty on research projects, commonly known as Ford-Knight Projects. These have included collaborative research on German Jewish writers after 1945 and German women writers.
- Students studying German Language and Literature can live together in German House, where they organize events for the entire community. Each year a native speaker from Vienna, Austria, llives in German House and works closely with students in and out of class.
- Each year guest speakers and artists from Germany and Austria visit campus. Recent guests include film scriptwriter Fatima el-Tayeb and writer/activist Ika Hügel-Marshall.
- German Majors and minors regularly receive prestigious national awards, enabling them to work and study abroad.
Earlham's international programs take full advantage of their locations. Whether you are participating in a May Term course which features study and travel in Germany or in a semester-long program, you'll gain understandings that will expand your world view. These insights are critical preparation for living and working in a global society.
