The German Studies minor is an interdisciplinary minor for students with academic interests and job aspirations in German speaking countries and cultures.
\nThe German Studies Minor is designed to provide proficiency in written and spoken German, as well as develop intercultural competence that will lead to critical cultural awareness and enable students to interpret cultural practices and perspectives they encounter in German-speaking countries to then take informed actions in international communities.
\nGerman Studies minors must complete eight 4-unit courses (32 units) – four lower-division languages courses (or the equivalent), one upper division language course and 3 electives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n \n\n <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
