Major / Minor in German at W&J College
The German Program is an important part of the Department of Modern Languages and the Humanities Division. Housed in the state of the art Burnett Center, the German program offers students many options to expand their horizons and learn about the language, literature, and culture of the German speaking world.
Why Take German? Knowledge of German can Strengthen any course of study at W&J!
The requirements for majoring or minoring in German depend on where you begin your course of study. For example, students who begin with German 105 must take 10 courses to complete a major or 7 courses to complete a minor, while those who begin with German 207 can fulfill a major with just 8 courses or a minor with just 5 courses. Students who are advanced enough to begin in German 309 are not eligible for a minor, but they can complete a major with just 6
courses. It is therefore to a student's advantage to begin at the highest level he or she is capable of! Additionaly, students can study abroad and 'skip ahead' with intensive language study abroad. Placement into your initial German course is determined by the Computerized Adaptive Placement Exam.
Consult with Dr. Shaughnessy as soon as you think you may be interested in developing a concentration in German so he can help you plan accordingly!
