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 40 credits.
German Department Course Requirements
At least SIX courses within the German Department. Of these, at least TWO must be at the 300-level or above.
Up to FOUR courses may be taken 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 one additional 300-level course must be taken in the German Department.
These are only a few examples offered in other departments since course offerings tend to change from time to time:
