Doctor of Philosophy in German and Scandinavian Studies

The course offerings in the German and Scandinavian studies PhD program reflect the research interests and expertise of our faculty. Students have great flexibility in their choice of concentration and coursework. They must take at least two classes per semester with GSS faculty, but have a range of other interdisciplinary options in related fields of their choice, to be determined in consultation with the academic advisor. In addition, students can pursue graduate certificates in complementary fields, such as film studies, African Diaspora, and women, gender, sexuality studies. Students holding a teaching assistantship must enroll every semester in our pedagogy workshop, German 583: Methods of Teaching German, in addition to the regular coursework. The Program in German and Scandinavian Studies is committed to funding our students through the timely completion of the PhD degree. Students admitted into the PhD program are typically offered five years of funding (if entering with a BA) or three years (if entering with a MA), primarily through teaching assistantships. These assistantships provide a waiver of tuition, a 95% waiver of health insurance (90% for families), and a stipend to cover living expenses. During their course of study, many students also receive competitive university- and college-wide fellowships in addition to their original funding offer. Our students have had great success in obtaining dissertation research support from Fulbright and DAAD. Furthermore, PhD candidates often teach at one of the prestigious liberal arts colleges in the area.
