A major in German consists of at least 24 credit hours beyond GER 202 with a grade of C- or higher in every course counting toward the major, and maintain a minimum overall average of 2.5 in the major (see curriculum for course distribution). The major is designed to allow students to gain advanced linguistic, cultural, and literary competence in the communities that speak this language. With each course students further develop the capacity to communicate with and to critically see and understand the linguistic communities being studied. Not only do students learn to understand, interpret, and analyze communication patterns and cultural products (new technologies, film, literature, etc.) from other geopolitical positions, but this process also fosters a greater appreciation of the learners' own language, culture, and society. As part of the development of analytical and critical skills, students learn to build coherent arguments orally and in writing, to develop tools for the interpretation of various texts, to perform research and write critical papers, to find and evaluate sources of information, to heighten their sensitivity to the contexts of language, and to appreciate language as art. Students will also acquire a broad, structured knowledge of the relevant history, literature and culture in the target language. Finally, they will learn to carry out cultural comparisons and to view their own culture with new eyes.
