German Studies Major

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 within the German Department and, with departmental approval, four in other disciplines.

Major requirements

The major in German Studies consists of a minimum of 10 credits. Of these, 3 must be at the 300-level or higher.
