The Major and the Minor in German
The Major in German
The German major requires that students take either 1311-1321 or 1331-1341 and eight approved courses at the 2000 level. Courses taught in English do not count toward the major or minor. The German major has become popular in combination with another major or minor program, either in the Arts, in the Sciences, or in Business, allowing students to combine a major in German with another major or minor of their choice. A double major, or a major with a minor, opens a variety of international career opportunities. For more information, contact Dr. Wienroeder-Skinner or Dr. Buckley.
The Minor in German
With the approval of the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures, a student may elect to minor in German by taking six courses at the 1300 level or beyond. For more information, contact Dr. Wienroeder-Skinner.
