Willkommen!

Why study German?
German is the language behind such works of art as the poetry of Goethe and the latest Porsche. The German language and cultural program at SUNY New Paltz can provide you with important skills for your personal and professional development.

German language skills can enhance your competence in areas as diverse as music, the biological sciences, engineering, literature, and film. At SUNY New Paltz, learning German has a personal touch as well. You’ll acquire the relevant cultural information as well as language proficiency. That means you’ll learn the German you’ll need in real-life situations and interact often with your classmates.
