German Minor


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Degrees Offered (Majors, Minors)

The German minor offers small, focused, and student-centered classes in language, language use, and creative expression. Students also gain in-depth knowledge of culture though coursework that covers Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. Students are encouraged to study abroad to achieve proficiency but may complete the minor on campus. Please contact the department for which courses are available as electives in any given year. A minor in German is an asset to students who seek careers in education, international business, translation and interpretation, hospitality and tourism, the military, and more. 

Only courses at the 200-level or above may count towards the minor.
