Minor in German Language and Literature

The minor in German Language and Literature consists of THREE core components:

1. Third-year Language Proficiency
Students must demonstrate 3rd-year proficiency in German. This can be accomplished by taking courses in the three-year language sequence (GER 1001, GER 1002, GER 1003, GER 1004, GER 2009, GER 2010), placing into the advanced level on the placement exam, or transferring credit from the Advanced Placement exam. Minors can also take the intensive track (GER 1005 and GER 1006), which cover GER 1001 - GER 1004 in only two semesters.

2. German Literature, Language or Culture (6 credit hours)
Students must take two of the following: GER 2091 / GER 2092 (Introduction to German Literature), GER 2109W / GER 2110W (4th-year German) or GER 2161 / GER 2162 (German Culture).

3. Advanced German Literature and Culture (6 credit hours)
Students must take two of the following: GER 2161, GER 2162 (if not taken above), GER 2165, GER 3181, GER 3182, GER 3183, GER 3184, GER 3185, GER 4171, GER 4172, GER 4173, GER 4174, or GER 4175. Note: you may also use GER 2111 (4th year Business German) to satisfy three of the required credit hours in this component.
