"From the moment I stepped onto campus, every professor, staff member, and student I encountered treated me with such genuine warmth and respect, as if I were already a valued member of their community. Despite not having officially joined the EIU family, I immediately felt a deep sense of belonging. The atmosphere was one of comfort and inclusivity, where everyone seemed genuinely invested in my success and well-being."Abbey McCordGerman | Class of 2025
The German minor gives you an edge in the job market. It is a fit if you want to build written and spoken communication skills in a second language, since foreign language skills are in demand and a foreign language minor is one of the top five minors at EIU. Your future employer will know you can communicate with a wider group of clients, exhibit cultural sensitivity and flexibility and adapt in a fast-changing and interdependent world.
