German Studies Major


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Programs by Department

In this major, students pursue interdisciplinary studies in a number of fields that relate directly to German; it does not require as much proficiency in the language as does our German major. Students construct their own program of 10 courses: six or more within the German Department and, with departmental approval, up to four in other disciplines. 

Major requirements


The major in German Studies consists of a minimum of 10 credits.  

German Department Course Requirements


Other Department or Program Courses


Up to FOUR courses from other Departments. Students are strongly encouraged to work with the German Studies advisor to plan out the most suitable program of study based on individual interests and learning goals.   

Please note: If your courses from other departments and programs do not include a 300-level course, then a second 300-level course must be taken in the German Department.
