German Advising Information

Prospective students should take the placement test as soon as possible to be placed into the correct level of study.
Students who have not had German in the last two years should opt for GER 101.
Students need to either take or test out of GER 101, GER 102, GER 201, and GER 202 before enrolling in any of the upper level courses.
German Majors may wish to consider a double major or a minor in fields such as History, Music, Philosophy, or Business in order to increase their marketability in the job market.

All students completing a German Major must complete an approved program of residence in a German-speaking country lasting a minimum of 8 weeks.

An internship in the student's target field is highly recommended in order to gain valuable work experience.
