Getting Started in German Studies
The German Studies curriculum is designed so that students with no experience with the language can begin their study at Wellesley and reach a point at which they are prepared to visit and study in German-speaking countries. For those with experience, we have a placement tool available online(see below) and will recommend courses based on these.
Beginner: For students starting German: Students without previous instruction in German language start.
Intermediate: For students continuing from 101-102. Also, for students with previous experience studying German language
Intermediate-Advanced: For incoming students with an intermediate/advanced level of German or those continuing beyond 202.
Advanced students of German: Students eligible to enroll in 300-level German Studies classes must have either placed or taken sufficient lower-level courses.
