advanced courses may include one course taught in English at the 300 level and
two electives at the advanced level in a related field outside the department, e.g.,
courses in German art, history, music, philosophy, and politics. Students in the
language and literature track take three of the advanced courses in literature and
one in culture. Students in the cultural studies track take one of the advanced
courses in literature and three in culture.
The minor in German consists of five courses above GERM 203 Intermediate
German I. Two of these five courses are required: GERM 204 Intermediate
German II and GERM 316 Readings in German Literature. The remaining three
may be selected from advanced language, literature, or culture courses in
consultation with the designated departmental advisor. One course conducted in
English may be counted toward the minor in German only with departmental
approval and provided all reading is done in German.
STUDY ABROAD
For all major and minors, the department strongly recommends at least one
semester of study abroad in Germany. Prior to participation, majors and minors
are encouraged to complete at least GERM 305, although the ideal study abroad
candidate will have taken three courses at the 300 level. Grades and credits will
transfer for Tulane affiliated programs. Other exchange programs may receive
credit upon departmental review.

The 600 level course must be taken on campus. Students returning from JYA or
JSA may only take 400-600 level courses.
For German minors who study abroad:
6 credits (2 classes) must be taken on campus in the department. Students
returning from JYA or JSA may only take 400-600 level courses.
