German Programs in the USA

(this page is part of Teil 5. Germanistik an den Universitäten der Welt / German Departments around the World)

Note: Look for the to find the best collections of links for Germanists and students of German.

Public state institutions are listed under the name of the state.
However, if public universities don't include the name of the state as part of the institution name,
then they are sorted by their institution name (and I add the state name in parentheses).
Don't forget: Ctrl-F lets you search the contents of this page.

U.S.A.—currently 580 German programs have links here.

All U.S. German programs at 4-year post-secondary institutions which offer information on the Web are presented here. For a complete reference of North American German programs and faculty, consult the Monatshefte / Max Kade Institute Directory of German Studies 2000, which is now available. If you are interested in mailing labels, contact Monatshefte (follow the link here). Note as well that this Web site's content is independent from that operation and was built from scratch.
 

In mid-1999 I updated all notes below indicating the highest degree offered in German (studies) and the number of permanent German faculty (ranks "Lecturer" and above). These notes are based on the information given in the Web pages of the departments. I do include degree programs titled e.g. "Modern Languages" as long as they allow a single concentration in German. Ph.D. programs are in boldface. "Language" indicates that no degree is offered; however, coursework there may still include upper-level instruction. I am willing to update these notes if that institution contacts me directly.
