The following areas of knowledge are central to the undergraduate degree in German Studies:

• an awareness of the fundamental outlines of German history and culture;
• familiarity with the history of modern German literature from 1750 to the present;
• familiarity with cultural developments in modern German-speaking Central Europe, such as the arts, the cinema, and the architecture; and
• the ability to critically examine such central issues as the Nazi era and the Holocaust, the roles of women, German attitudes toward non-Germans, German culture after reunification and their reflection in German literature, arts, and media.

In addition, students completing the degree in German Studies are expected to acquire:

• the ability to read German at a level at which critical literary and cultural analyses can be performed;
• the ability to write and speak German sufficiently to participate in critical discussions and write critical essays;
• the ability to speak and comprehend German sufficiently for all situations in daily life, especially the business and professional sectors of German life.

Students must complete the general requirements of the College of Arts and Sciences and the major requirements listed below. Students who declared their major prior to the 2008 summer term may continue to fulfill the requirements which were in effect at the time they declared a major.

The major requirement in German Studies is 34 hours beyond GRMN 2010 (with grades of C- or above). Students design their own major in consultation with the undergraduate advisor and a faculty mentor. At least 18 hours taken toward the major must be completed at the 3000 or 4000 level. Students who test out of GRMN 2020 are required to complete 33 hours.
GRMN 4550 MUST BE TAKEN AT CU BOULDER

The department strongly recommends that all majors take part in study abroad. The University's program in Regensburg provides a full year of study abroad. The Berlin program offers an academic year and a summer study abroad opportunity. Please consult with the faculty advisor and visit the study abroad website at: 听for program specific information.

Students should consult the University catalog for further information on eligibility for the four-year guarantee. The concept of "adequate progress" as it is used here only refers to maintaining eligibility for the four-year guarantee; it is not a requirement for the major. To maintain adequate progress in German Studies, students should meet the following requirements:

• Begin to study the language in the freshman year, or have received advanced placement credit.
• In consultation with the major program advisor before the end of drop/add period in the first semester, plan a tentative schedule of courses to be taken over eight semesters.
• Discuss progress toward the degree each semester with the major advisor.

Note: Although these requirements apply only in cases in which students are seeking to graduate under the terms of the four-year guarantee, they are good advice for all majors. Consult the program advisor about the major at any time.
