Minoring in German

Prerequisites

German 101, 102, and 231 or the equivalent, as determined by the departmental placement examination.

Requirements

No less than 18 hours at the level of German 232 or higher.

Conversation courses (305, 306, 405, 406) will not count towards a minor, but any LAC courses numbered above 242 will count. Students must take either German 325 or 326. Either 325 or 326 may be repeated once, provided the content is different. At least four courses counting towards the 18-hour total must be taught in German, and at least one must be numbered 400 or above. Students are strongly encouraged to give further coherence to their programs by electing courses within the same "German Studies Sequence."

Internships

If students have completed a summer internship in Germany, Switzerland, or Austria, and enrolled in German 351 (3 credits) in one of the following semesters, the credits will count towards the minor.

Study Abroad

No more than 15 credits may be applied toward concentration unless the program is affiliated with The University of Michigan (i.e. Academic Year in Freiburg, winter term in Tübingen, or the summer program in Graz).
