Requirements for Students Taking Upper Level Courses

Prerequisites

All those taking German at the 3000 level must have passed German 2314 (or equivalent) with a grade of C or better.
To take German courses at the 4000 level, one must have taken one 3000 level course OR receive permission from the instructor.
Some 4321 or 4322 German courses are cross-listed with other departments (e.g., English, History, Philosophy) and may be taken by any student who meets the requirements in those departments.
Students who have passed GERM 2314 with a Certificate of Proficiency may be eligible to take a 4000 level German course that is taught by faculty (a professor or lecturer) within the German Section in German. Such students must take a 3000 level course concurrently in order to do so. See the head of the German Section, Dr. Lana Rings, for further details.

Some courses are topics courses and may be repeated as the topic changes: German 3313, 3314, 3318, 4321, 4322.
Only in cases where a 4322 is taught by a professor in another department, using English, may students be exempt from the prerequisites.

Some courses may be used in lieu of German 4334 (culture of business) and German 4335 (business German) if those courses are not offered when you need them.
- German 4321 may be used in place of 4334
- German 4322 may be used in place of 4335.

German 4339, Methods of Teaching German, is offered every summer and in the fall of every even-numbered year.

Students with specific questions not answered above should contact Dr. Rings.
