Why Take German?
Did you know...

A full 18% of European Union residents speak German as their native language, and 14% of all Europeans can speak German as a second language, andthat it is the most commonly used language on the internet after English. Additionally, Germany has the most websites per capita in the world.
That of UD's 40+ Fulbright awards over the years, 25 of those students receiving the prestigious scholarship went to Germany, Austria, and Switzerland thanks to continued study in German beyond the core.
That there are many opportunities to study in Germany at both the bachelor's and master's levels. Two thousand grants are awarded to US students annually to study and research in Germany, offering more scholarships for international students than any other country and requiring NO TUITION at excellent universities.
That Germany is one of the most important trading partners of the United States. German companies account for 800,000 jobs in the US (making them the third largest group of foreign employers in the country), and US companies have created approximately the same number of jobs in Germany. Germany is the third largest investor in the US, the fourth largest national economy worldwide and the largest in the European Union.
