Students who major in German will be able to:
- speak, understand, read, and write German with advanced proficiency
- formulate a clear argument verbally or in written form
- contextualize, assess, and critique different types of cultural production (literary, historical, journalistic, musical, cinematic, scholarly, etc.)

Requirements for the Individual Structured German Studies Major
The department offers an individual structured major in German Studies. Students will develop an individualized plan in close consultation with their major advisor or the Department Chair. Generally, such a plan would require nine courses, including a mix of courses in German (above GER102) and related courses taught in English.
