German Studies Major
– 57 hours–
The major in German Studies consists of 57 credit hours. All students must take the following courses:
- 15-GRMN-201-2-3 (15 credits): Second Year German
- 15-GRMN-301-3-3 (9 credits): Introduction to German Studies
- 15-GRMN-401-2-3 (9 credits): Seminar in German Studies
- 15-GRMN-501-2-3 (9 credits): Survey of German Literature
- 15-GRMN-491, 2, or 3 (3 credits): Senior Capstone
The remaining 12 credits may be earned by taking any course the department offers aside from the required courses and the basic language courses. This choice of electives includes our study-abroad offerings. Students can substitute equivalent courses for the required courses when appropriate. For example the Munich Program (15-GRMN-204) can be used to replace one of the advanced langauge sequences.
Although study abroad is not required for a degree in German Studies, all of our majors in recent years have spent some time in Germany or Austria during their studies at UC. Options range from a 10-day trip to Berlin to a year at a German or Austrian university. Several scholarships are available to fund study abroad.
