German Area of Emphasis in the B.A. in Modern Languages degree program:
The Modern Languages Department offers a Major program in Modern Languages with a secondary emphasis in German and a minor program in German.

 

Introductory German: 

The basic courses German 1010 and 1020 are based on very current and excellent materials from Deutsche Welle.

 

Minor in German:

See the GERMAN MINOR page.

 

German Course Rotation:

The following courses are planned on the following three semester model:

 

GER 3220 LIT II             GER 3200 CIV              GER 3210 LIT I             (Culture/Literatur)

GER 3010 CONV           GER 3300 GRAM          GER 3150 PHON           (Skills)

  

These courses allow for an advanced student, without CLEP credits, to do one 2000 level course and the six 3000 level courses and complete an 21 credit GER minor. It also allows a student with a LING major to include two 3000 level courses (3150 and 3300) in that major and do the 21 credit GER minor with the four 2000 level courses. 

 

These courses allow a student with the six 3000 level courses to complete an IDP German Studies major with one 12 credit semester study abroad by transfer credit, the minimum needed for a good major.
