Due to an unexpected turnover in our graduate programs, the Program in
German and Scandinavian Studies at the University of Massachusetts
Amherst still expects to have teaching assistantships available for
the 2011/12 academic year.
The program has a long and distinguished history of excellent graduate
training in German. Some our strengths include:
? Ample teaching experience for graduate teaching assistants.
? Stipends and tuition waivers for most admitted.
? Flexible degree programs, encouraging interdisciplinary
coursework in related departments as well as graduate certificate
programs in advanced Feminist Studies and Film Studies.
? Experienced faculty with expertise in many fields and topics
within German Studies, such as literature, social and literary theory,
music, film, history, mythology, and art, as well as Jewish, Black
German, medieval, feminist, gender, and sexuality studies.
? Active graduate students, who organize a biennial graduate
student conference and publish a peer-reviewed journal of graduate
student research.
? Opportunities for study at many partner universities in Germany.
? Collaboration with affiliated the DEFA Film Library, which
focuses on both East German film and now German film more generally.
? Prominent job placement of alumni.
Interested students may visit the website of German and Scandinavian
studies at UMass, www.umass.edu/german, or e-mail us at
