  Courses: German (GERMAN)

Students who have had no previous training in German should enroll in German 101. Those who have studied German in high school should take the placement exam in German, administered by the Testing Office, before enrolling; the exam is required for those who have had two or more years of high school German. After consultation with the department, a student may enroll in a course one level higher or lower than the one recommended by the placement examination.

The program offers a major in German that allows the student to concentrate in his/her area of interest: literature, philology, culture, or business.

All majors are required to take an advanced language proficiency exam, normally during the semester in which they complete 18 credits in the major.

In addition, majors must complete a research experience in their major. For information on how to fulfill this requirement, consult the department.

The major requires a minimum of 30 credits in courses numbered 300 or above, at least 18 of them taken in residence at UWM. Not more than 9 credits per semester will be accepted from study abroad. Required are German 331, 332(426), 333 and 334; four additional courses on the 300 to 500 level (that are taught in German); and two courses on the 600 level.

Students are encouraged strongly to take at least 6 additional credits in related courses outside the program as recommended by their advisor. Majors must register with the program at the beginning of their candidacy.

Course of Study: German Minor

The minor in German requires a minimum of 21 credits in courses numbered 300 or above, at least 9 of them taken in residence at UWM. Four courses on the 300 level are required: German 331, 332(426), 333, and 334. Students must complete 9 additional credits by selecting courses from the 300 to 600 level.

Course of Study: Business German Minor

The business German minor consists of a minimum of 18 credits, including the following:

Substitutions for some course requirements are possible and may include internships with firms doing business in German-speaking countries.
