German Studies Interdepartmental Major
This interdisciplinary and interdepartmental major is designed to provide
the student with a broader understanding of the cultures of Germany, Austria,
and Switzerland by achieving an advanced level of language proficiency and
by studying the art, history, literature, philosophy, and politics of these
countries in depth. GER 202 may count toward the eight-unit minimum major.
GER 231 and two 300-level units are required. A minimum of five units should
be completed in the German department, one of them at the 300 level. The
elective units taken in the German department may be drawn from courses
taught in German or English, including either WRIT 125/GER 120 or 121.
The remaining minimum of three elective units may be drawn from any of the
related courses listed below. A student who enrolls in these courses is
expected to do a project or paper on a German, Austrian, or Swiss topic
in order to count the course toward her German Studies major. She may also
do an interdisciplinary 360- 370 project that is supervised by an interdepartmental
committee.With approval of the relevant department, courses taken abroad
may count at the 200 level toward the major. A course in German history
is highly recommended, as are two units from a single allied field.While
it is helpful to have an advisor in the allied field, a student must have
a major advisor in the German department, which approves all individually
constructed German studies programs.
