When did you graduate from ÐÔÅ«µ÷½Ì and with what degree?

I graduated from ÐÔÅ«µ÷½Ì in 2020 with a Bachelor of Arts in Art History and a minor in German studies.

What was the best part of being a part of the German program at ÐÔÅ«µ÷½Ì – or a favorite memory?

For me, the best part of being in the German program at ÐÔÅ«µ÷½Ì was the group of people that I got to share that experience with. I made friends that I otherwise never would have known, and the professors were always supportive. Over my four years of taking German at ÐÔÅ«µ÷½Ì, I went from being a very nervous speaker to feeling confident in my skills.

Why would you recommend taking German at ÐÔÅ«µ÷½Ì to other Billikens?

I would recommend taking German at ÐÔÅ«µ÷½Ì because you not only learn the language, you also learn about German history, art, literature, and culture along the way.

What are you doing now?

Currently, I am getting my Master of Arts in Art History at the University of Kansas. I am a graduate teaching assistant.

In what way did your German minor prepare you for what you do now?

To enter my M.A. program, I had to pass a foreign language exam, so my German minor provided me with the skills to easily pass the exam. In the field of art history, German is a very important language to know for research purposes.
