Career Opportunities after Completing Bachelor of German

Career development in the German major

Preparing students for life after college has always been top of mind in the German language program – it shows in the faculty/student relationship. Faculty provide close mentorship and care to help ensure student success throughout their time at UM and long after.

German students in their second year or beyond can participate in a for-credit internship developed in partnership with SPARK Labs that brings the German language and culture into Missoula after-school programs. Supervised by German faculty chair Hiltrud Arens, UM students learn lesson planning, teaching and tutoring skills as they share the German-speaking cultures and their histories with local middle schoolers.

Networking and professional development in the German degree program

When students are about to graduate and apply for Fulbright and teaching/researching possibilities in Europe, they can rely on previous students' experiences as well as faculty mentorship. If awarded a TA position, for example, they gain entry into a lifelong connection with a first-class international education organization.

What's more, the German program inducts its best students into the National German Honor Society Delta Phi Alpha each year, which also facilitates networking.

Scholarships for German language majors

Helping German language majors fulfill their dream of higher education and immersion in the German language and culture is paramount at UM. We help ensure nothing stands in the way of those dreams with scholarships for German majors, including the David Williams Memorial Scholarship and Montana German Heritage Scholarship.
