In consultation with their major advisor, majors must take an additional 4 credits in a course that has a topic related to German Studies, including:

IV. Capstone (2 credits)


Normally taken in the senior year. Students enroll in 2 credits of GERM 400  while taking an upper-level German-language course such as GERM 320 , GERM 330 , GERM 340 , or GERM 350 . The capstone involves guided research that concludes with a substantial paper in German on a topic chosen in consultation with their major advisor.

Note


It is strongly recommended that all German Studies majors study abroad in a German-speaking country. Students considering graduate study in German should take additional courses in areas such as history, literature, mythology, philosophy, linguistics, political science, and another language.
