• GERM 1502 or GERM 1507
• 9 hours of upper-level courses
  • at least 3 of the 9 hours must be at the 4000-level in German
  • 3 of the 9 hours must be in residence communication literacy (CL). See the student's respective catalog for specific courses and requirement. This information is based on the 2018-2019 Catalog.

A grade of at least C in all major and minor courses is required. College Level Examination (CLEP) credits are accepted by the department.

Note: Courses taught in English do not count toward the German minor. Students may not complete all 9 hours of their upper-level requirement in one semester. 3 of the 9 hours must be taken in residence.
