Courses

The Department of German Studies offers courses ranging from the elementary level (for students with no knowledge of German) through advanced-level courses in German language and culture. The department reviews the course selection of each entering student, taking into consideration her school and AP records together with her answers to a questionnaire and the results of her online placement exam.

Students can also earn course credits by participating in an approved learning abroad program in a German-speaking country, typically during the junior year. The department currently has exchange programs with the Universities of Bonn, Leipzig, and Potsdam.

Detailed information on course selection, placement, and learning abroad can be found in the German Studies chapter of the catalogue.
