German Minor Requirements
Students are encouraged to declare their intent to minor in German in their sophomore year and to make an advising appointment with the Director of Undergraduate Studies to discuss their academic plans, including options for a study abroad semester or year.
Students must complete a minimum of 6 courses (with each course counting for at least 3 credits) in German beyond Elementary German (AS.210.161 German Elements I-AS.210.162 German Elements II) and Intermediate German (AS.210.261 Intermediate German I-AS.210.262 Intermediate German II).
